Subject: mm/vmalloc: fix vmalloc_dump_obj address alignment for last-page lookups

Patch series "mm/vmalloc: fix vmalloc_dump_obj VA lookup", v4.

vmalloc_dump_obj() has two bugs that cause it to miss vmalloc
allocations.

  1. PAGE_ALIGN() rounds up, pushing last-page addresses to va_end
     and outside the VA lookup range.

  2. The function searches only one vmap node, but allocations
     larger than 64 KiB may span multiple vmap zones whose VA
     is stored in a different node's rb-tree.

Patch 1 fixes the alignment, patch 2 fixes the cross-zone search.


This patch (of 2):

vmalloc_dump_obj() uses PAGE_ALIGN() to normalize the input address before
looking it up in the per-node busy tree.  PAGE_ALIGN() rounds up, which
can push an address in the last page of a vmalloc allocation to va_end --
outside the [va_start, va_end) range that __find_vmap_area() searches. 
This causes the lookup to miss the VA and return false, degrading
diagnostic output in OOM dumps and KASAN reports to the less informative
"vmalloc memory" fallback.

The upward alignment can also change the addr_to_node() mapping when the
page boundary crosses a vmap zone boundary, causing the search to hit the
wrong node entirely.

Use PAGE_ALIGN_DOWN() instead, which rounds down to the page containing
the address.  This keeps the address within the VA range and preserves the
correct node mapping.
