memory hotplug: Refuse to add unaligned memory regions

The sysfs memory probe interface allows unaligned regions
to be added:

# echo 0xffffff > /sys/devices/system/memory/probe

# cat /proc/iomem
00ffffff-01fffffe : System RAM
01ffffff-02fffffe : System RAM
02ffffff-03fffffe : System RAM
03ffffff-04fffffe : System RAM
04ffffff-05fffffe : System RAM

Return -EINVAL instead of creating these bad regions.
