Subject: memremap: fix NULL pointer BUG in get_zone_device_page()
The following BUG was observed while starting up KVM with nvdimm
device as memory-backend-file to /dev/dax.
BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000008

devm_memremap_pages() calls for_each_device_pfn() to walk through
all pfns in page_map. pfn_first(), however, returns a wrong pfn
that leaves page->pgmap uninitialized.
Since arch_add_memory() has set up direct mappings to the NVDIMM
range with altmap, pfn_first() should not modify the start pfn.
Change pfn_first() to simply return pfn of res->start.
