Subject: [PATCH] libnvdimm,
 pfn: fix memmap reservation size versus 4K alignment

When vmemmap_populate() allocates space for the memmap it does so in 2MB
sized chunks. The libnvdimm-pfn driver incorrectly accounts for this
when the alignment of the device is set to 4K. When this happens we
trigger memory allocation failures in altmap_alloc_block_buf() and
trigger warnings of the form:

 WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 3376 at arch/x86/mm/init_64.c:656 arch_add_memory+0xe4/0xf0
 [..]
 Call Trace:
  dump_stack+0x86/0xc3
  __warn+0xcb/0xf0
  warn_slowpath_null+0x1d/0x20
  arch_add_memory+0xe4/0xf0
  devm_memremap_pages+0x29b/0x4e0

Fixes: 315c562536c4 ("libnvdimm, pfn: add 'align' attribute, default to HPAGE_SIZE")
