selftests/mm: ksm_tests should only MADV_HUGEPAGE valid memory
ksm_tests was previously mmapping a region of memory, aligning the
returned pointer to a PMD boundary, then setting MADV_HUGEPAGE, but was
setting it past the end of the mmapped area due to not taking the pointer
alignment into consideration. Fix this behaviour.
Up until commit efa7df3 ("mm: align larger anonymous mappings on THP
boundaries"), this buggy behavior was (usually) masked because the
alignment difference was always less than PMD-size. But since the
mentioned commit, `ksm_tests -H -s 100` started failing.
