Commit a1f3e4d "libnvdimm, region: update nd_region_available_dpa()
for multi-pmem support" reworked blk dpa (DIMM Physical Address)
accounting to comprehend multiple pmem namespace allocations aliasing
with a given blk-dpa range.
The following call trace is a result of failing to account for allocated
blk capacity.

If a given blk-dpa allocation does not alias with any pmem ranges then
the full allocation should be accounted as busy space, not the size of
the current pmem contribution to the region.
The thinkos that led to this confusion was not realizing that the struct
resource management is already guaranteeing no collisions between pmem
allocations and blk allocations on the same dimm. Also, we do not try to
support blk allocations in aliased pmem holes.
This patch also fixes a case where the available blk goes negative.
