[PATCH] cxl: Fix memory page not handled

The a in-kernel 'library' API can be called by drivers to help
interaction with an IBM XSL on a POWER9 system.

The cxllib_handle_fault() API is used to handle memory fault. All memory
pages of the specified buffer have to be handled but the last page is
never touched, and the address the adapter is trying to access is never
sent to the kernel for resolution.

This patch updates the loop on the memory pages to be handled.
