dev_dax->align describes the page size used by a Device DAX mapping.
Both the start and size of every range must therefore be aligned to it;
otherwise the starting PFN cannot represent a naturally aligned page of
that size.
Only range sizes are currently validated. A dynamic device can therefore
select a large-page alignment and allocate a range whose start is not
naturally aligned to that page size. The device binds successfully, but a
subsequent write to a userspace mapping may trigger a kernel panic.
The automatic resize path can also split a size-aligned request across
arbitrary free gaps. When devices with different alignments fragment a
region, this can extend a range by less than its alignment. A later
allocation then fails, leaving the failed resize partially applied.
Validate both the start and size of allocated and adjusted ranges. Make
the resize path account only for usable aligned space before changing any
ranges, and skip gaps that cannot satisfy the device alignment. Initialize
the device alignment before allocating its initial range so that all
allocations use the same validation.
A mapping with an unaligned start is now rejected with -EINVAL, while a
naturally aligned mapping still binds successfully.

v2:
- Keep the alloc_is_aligned() name to avoid unrelated helper renaming
(suggested by Dave Jiang)
- Move this patch after the mapping error reporting fix for independent
backports (suggested by Dave Jiang)
