libnvdimm, pfn: fix 'npfns' vs section alignment
Fix failures to create namespaces due to the vmem_altmap not advertising enough free space to store the memmap. WARNING: CPU: 15 PID: 8022 at arch/x86/mm/init_64.c:656 arch_add_memory+0xde/0xf0 [..] Call Trace: dump_stack+0x63/0x83 __warn+0xcb/0xf0 warn_slowpath_null+0x1d/0x20 arch_add_memory+0xde/0xf0 devm_memremap_pages+0x244/0x440 pmem_attach_disk+0x37e/0x490 [nd_pmem] nd_pmem_probe+0x7e/0xa0 [nd_pmem] nvdimm_bus_probe+0x71/0x120 [libnvdimm] driver_probe_device+0x2bb/0x460 bind_store+0x114/0x160 drv_attr_store+0x25/0x30 In commit 658922e57b84 "libnvdimm, pfn: fix memmap reservation sizing" we arranged for the capacity to be allocated, but failed to also update the 'npfns' parameter. This leads to cases where there is enough capacity reserved to hold all the allocated sections, but vmemmap_populate_hugepages() still encounters -ENOMEM from altmap_alloc_block_buf(). This fix is a stop-gap until we can teach the core memory hotplug implementation to permit sub-section hotplug.
