[PATCH v2 1/3] exec: fetch the alignment of Linux devdax pmem character device nodes

[Jingqi Liu]

If the backend file is devdax pmem character device, the alignment
specified by the option 'align=NUM' in the '-object memory-backend-file'
needs to match the alignment requirement of the devdax pmem character device.

This patch uses the interfaces of libdaxctl to fetch the devdax pmem file
'align', so that we can compare it with the NUM of 'align=NUM'.
The NUM needs to be larger than or equal to the devdax pmem file 'align'.

It also fixes the problem that mmap() returns failure in qemu_ram_mmap()
when the NUM of 'align=NUM' is less than the devdax pmem file 'align'.
