[PATCH] brd: fix uninitialized use of brd->dax_dev

From: Gerald Schaefer
Date: Wed May 03 2017 - 08:56:39 EST


commit 1647b9b9 "brd: add dax_operations support" introduced the allocation
and freeing of a dax_device, but the allocated dax_device is not stored
into the brd_device, so brd_del_one() will eventually operate on an
uninitialized brd->dax_dev.

Fix this by storing the allocated dax_device to brd->dax_dev.
