x86/PCI: allocate space from the end of a region, not the beginning

Allocate from the end of a region, not the beginning.

For example, if we need to allocate 0x800 bytes for a device on bus
0000:00 given these resources:

    [mem 0xbff00000-0xdfffffff] PCI Bus 0000:00
      [mem 0xc0000000-0xdfffffff] PCI Bus 0000:02

the available space at [mem 0xbff00000-0xbfffffff] is passed to the
alignment callback (pcibios_align_resource()).  Prior to this patch, we
would put the new 0x800 byte resource at the beginning of that available
space, i.e., at [mem 0xbff00000-0xbff007ff].

With this patch, we put it at the end, at [mem 0xbffff800-0xbfffffff].
