devm_memremap_pages: fix vmem_altmap lifetime + alignment handling

to_vmem_altmap() needs to return valid results until
arch_remove_memory() completes.  It also needs to be valid for any pfn
in a section regardless of whether that pfn maps to data.  This escape
was a result of a bug in the unit test.

The signature of this bug is that free_pagetable() fails to retrieve a
vmem_altmap and goes off into the weeds:

 BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at           (null)
