When dax pmem is probed as RAM device on arm64, previously, kmem_start in
dev_dax_kmem_probe() should be aligned with 1G memblock size on arm64 due
to SECTION_SIZE_BITS(30).

There will be some meta data at the beginning/end of the iomem space, e.g.
namespace info and nvdimm label:
240000000-33fdfffff : Persistent Memory
  240000000-2403fffff : namespace0.0
  280000000-2bfffffff : dax0.0
    280000000-2bfffffff : System RAM

Hence it makes the whole kmem space not aligned with memory_block_size for
both start addr and end addr. Hence there is a big gap when kmem is added
into memory block which causes big memory space wasting.

This changes it by relaxing the alignment check for dax pmem kmem in the
path of online/offline memory blocks.
