Subject: [PATCH v2 11/11] libnvdimm, pfn,
 dax: stop padding pmem namespaces to section alignment

Now that the mm core supports section-unaligned hotplug of ZONE_DEVICE
memory, we no longer need to add padding at pfn/dax device creation
time. The kernel will still honor padding established by older kernels.
