Subject: [PATCH 5.15 618/913] nvdimm/region: Fix default alignment for small regions

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

[ Upstream commit d9d290d7e659e9db3e4518040cc18b97f5535f4a ]

In preparation for removing BLK aperture support the NVDIMM unit tests
discovered that the default alignment can be set higher than the
capacity of the region. Fall back to PAGE_SIZE in that case.

Given this has not been seen in the wild, elide notifying -stable.
