userfaultfd: provide properly masked address for huge-pages
Commit 824ddc6 ("userfaultfd: provide unmasked address on
page-fault") was introduced to fix an old bug, in which the offset in the
address of a page-fault was masked. Concerns were raised - although were
never backed by actual code - that some userspace code might break because
the bug has been around for quite a while. To address these concerns a
new flag was introduced, and only when this flag is set by the user,
userfaultfd provides the exact address of the page-fault.
The commit however had a bug, and if the flag is unset, the offset was
always masked based on a base-page granularity. Yet, for huge-pages, the
behavior prior to the commit was that the address is masked to the
huge-page granulrity.
While there are no reports on real breakage, fix this issue. If the flag
is unset, use the address with the masking that was done before.
