It looks like this change breaks "fsdax" mode namespaces in
next-20180705.  The offending commit is:

commit 054620849110 ("mm/sparse.c: make sparse_init_one_section void
and remove check")

Here is the stack trace I get when converting a raw mode namespace to
fsdax mode, and from then on during each reboot as the namespace is
being initialized:
