CVE-2024-50022 device-dax: correct pgoff align in dax_set_mapping()

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: device-dax: correct pgoff align in daxsetmapping pgoff should be aligned using ALIGNDOWN instead of ALIGN. Otherwise, vmf-address not aligned to faultsize will be aligned to the next alignment, that can result in memory failure...
