kernel/resource: Increment by align value in get_free_mem_region()
Currently get_free_mem_region() searches for available capacity in increments equal to the region size being requested. This can cause the search to take giant steps through the resource leaving needless gaps and missing available space. Specifically 'cxl create-region' fails with ERANGE even though capacity of the given size and CXL's expected 256M x InterleaveWays alignment can be satisfied. Replace the total-request-size increment with a next alignment increment so that the next possible address is always examined for availability.
