[PATCH RFC PKS/PMEM 57/58] nvdimm/pmem: Stray access protection for pmem->virt_addr

From: Ira Weiny <ira.weiny at intel.com>

The pmem driver uses a cached virtual address to access its memory
directly.  Because the nvdimm driver is well aware of the special
protections it has mapped memory with, we call dev_access_[en|dis]able()
around the direct pmem->virt_addr (pmem_addr) usage instead of the
unnecessary overhead of trying to get a page to kmap.
