[dm-devel] [PATCH v3 4/6] dax/super: Do not request a pointer kaddr when not required

From: Huaisheng Ye <yehs1 at lenovo.com>

Function __bdev_dax_supported doesn't need to get local pointer kaddr
from direct_access. Using NULL instead of having to pass in a useless
local pointer that caller then just throw away.
