Subject: [PATCH 4.9 18/21] libnvdimm, pfn: fix start_pad handling for aligned namespaces

4.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@...el.com>

commit 19deaa217bc04e83b59b5e8c8229eb0e53ad9efc upstream.

The alignment checks at pfn driver startup fail to properly account for
the 'start_pad' in the case where the namespace is misaligned relative
to its internal alignment. This is typically triggered in 1G aligned
namespace, but could theoretically trigger with small namespace
alignments. When this triggers the kernel reports messages of the form:

    dax2.1: bad offset: 0x3c000000 dax disabled align: 0x40000000

Fixes: 1ee6667cd8d1 ("libnvdimm, pfn, dax: fix initialization vs autodetect...")
