Subject: [PATCH] device-dax: implement ->split() to catch invalid munmap
 attempts

Similar to how device-dax enforces that the 'address', 'offset', and
'len' parameters to mmap() be aligned to the device's fundamental
alignment, the same constraints apply to munmap().  Implement ->split()
to fail munmap calls that violate the alignment constraint.

Otherwise, we later fail VM_BUG_ON checks in the unmap_page_range() path
with crash signatures of the form:
