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...
