When brd_direct_access() is called on a partition-bdev
it would access the wrong sector. And caller would then
corrupt the device's data.
This is a preliminary fix, Matthew Wilcox has a patch
in his DAX patchset which will define a global wrapper
to bdev->bd_disk->fops->direct_access that will do the
proper checks and translations before calling a driver
global member. (The way it is done at the rest of the
block stack)
