dax_pmd_insert_mapping() contains the following code:

        pfn_t pfn;
        if (bdev_dax_pgoff(bdev, sector, size, &pgoff) != 0)
            goto fallback;
        /* ... */
    fallback:
      trace_dax_pmd_insert_mapping_fallback(inode, vmf, length, pfn, ret);

When the condition in the if statement fails, the function calls
trace_dax_pmd_insert_mapping_fallback() with an uninitialized pfn value.

This issue has been found while building the kernel with clang.  The
compiler reported:

    fs/dax.c:1280:6: error: variable 'pfn' is used uninitialized
    whenever 'if' condition is true [-Werror,-Wsometimes-uninitialized]
        if (bdev_dax_pgoff(bdev, sector, size, &pgoff) != 0)
            ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    fs/dax.c:1310:60: note: uninitialized use occurs here
      trace_dax_pmd_insert_mapping_fallback(inode, vmf, length, pfn, ret);
                                                                     ^~~
