Subject: mm/vmalloc: do not adjust the search size for alignment overhead
We used to include an alignment overhead into a search length, in that
case we guarantee that a found area will definitely fit after applying a
specific alignment that user specifies. From the other hand we do not
guarantee that an area has the lowest address if an alignment is >=
PAGE_SIZE.
It means that, when a user specifies a special alignment together with a
range that corresponds to an exact requested size then an allocation will
fail. This is what happens to KASAN, it wants the free block that exactly
matches a specified range during onlining memory banks:

Fix it by making sure that find_vmap_lowest_match() returns lowest start
address with any given alignment value, i.e. for alignments bigger then
PAGE_SIZE the algorithm rolls back toward parent nodes checking right
sub-trees if the most left free block did not fit due to alignment
overhead.
