cma: fix calculation of aligned offset

The align_offset parameter is used by bitmap_find_next_zero_area_off()
to represent the offset of map's base from the previous alignment
boundary; the function ensures that the returned index, plus the
align_offset, honors the specified align_mask.

The logic introduced by commit b5be83e3 ("mm: cma: align to physical
address, not CMA region position") has the cma driver calculate the
offset to the *next* alignment boundary.  In most cases, the base
alignment is greater than that specified when making allocations,
resulting in a zero offset whether we align up or down.  In the example
given with the commit, the base alignment (8MB) was half the requested
alignment (16MB) so the math also happened to work since the offset is
8MB in both directions.  However, when requesting allocations with an
alignment greater than twice that of the base, the returned index would
not be correctly aligned.

Also, the align_order arguments of cma_bitmap_aligned_mask() and
cma_bitmap...
