[RFC PATCH 6/6] arm64: fall back to vmemmap_populate_basepages if not aligned with PMD_SIZE

In dax pmem kmem (dax pmem used as RAM device) case, the start address
might not be aligned with PMD_SIZE
e.g.
240000000-33fdfffff : Persistent Memory
  240000000-2421fffff : namespace0.0
  242400000-2bfffffff : dax0.0
    242400000-2bfffffff : System RAM (kmem)
pfn_to_page(0x242400000) is fffffe0007e90000.

Without this patch, vmemmap_populate(fffffe0007e90000, ...) will incorrectly
create a pmd mapping [fffffe0007e00000, fffffe0008000000] which contains
fffffe0007e90000.

This adds the check and then falls back to vmemmap_populate_basepages()
