libnvdimm/dax: Pick the right alignment default when creating dax devices

Allow arch to provide the supported alignments and use hugepage alignment only
if we support hugepage. Right now we depend on compile time configs whereas this
patch switch this to runtime discovery.

Architectures like ppc64 can have THP enabled in code, but then can have
hugepage size disabled by the hypervisor. This allows us to create dax devices
with PAGE_SIZE alignment in this case.

Existing dax namespace with alignment larger than PAGE_SIZE will fail to
initialize in this specific case. We still allow fsdax namespace initialization.

With respect to identifying whether to enable hugepage fault for a dax device,
if THP is enabled during compile, we default to taking hugepage fault and in dax
fault handler if we find the fault size > alignment we retry with PAGE_SIZE
fault size.

This also addresses the below failure scenario on ppc64

ndctl create-namespace --mode=devdax  | grep align
 "align":16777216,
 "align":16777216

cat /sys/devices/ndbus0/region0/dax0.0/supported_alignments

The failure was due to guest kernel using wrong page size.

The namespaces created with 16M alignment will appear as below on a config with
16M page size disabled.
