libnvdimm, pfn: fix 'npfns' vs section alignment



Fix failures to create namespaces due to the vmem_altmap not advertising
enough free space to store the memmap.

In commit 658922e5 "libnvdimm, pfn: fix memmap reservation sizing"
we arranged for the capacity to be allocated, but failed to also update
the 'npfns' parameter. This leads to cases where there is enough
capacity reserved to hold all the allocated sections, but
vmemmap_populate_hugepages() still encounters -ENOMEM from
altmap_alloc_block_buf().

This fix is a stop-gap until we can teach the core memory hotplug
implementation to permit sub-section hotplug.
