When creating a pfn or dax namespace ndctl uses a default alignment of 2MB when the user does not explicitly supply one. This works on most systems (x86, ARM, PPC64 with radix MMU), but it fails when the kernel does not support a 2MB page size (PPC64 with hash MMU). This patch makes ndctl use the alignment of the relevant seed namespace as the default instead. The kernel will always pick a valid default alignment so this should be a bit more portable.
