    md/async: don't pass a memory pointer as a page pointer. · 5dd33c9a

    md/raid6 passes a list of 'struct page *' to the async_tx routines,
    which then either DMA map them for offload, or take the page_address
    for CPU based calculations.
    
    For RAID6 we sometime leave 'blanks' in the list of pages.
    For CPU based calcs, we want to treat theses as a page of zeros.
    For offloaded calculations, we simply don't pass a page to the
    hardware.
    
    Currently the 'blanks' are encoded as a pointer to
    raid6_empty_zero_page.  This is a 4096 byte memory region, not a
    'struct page'.  This is mostly handled correctly but is rather ugly.
    
    So change the code to pass and expect a NULL pointer for the blanks.
    When taking page_address of a page, we need to check for a NULL and
    in that case use raid6_empty_zero_page.
