[PATCH] Correct alignment of huge page requests.

[Steven Truelove <steven.truelove@utoronto.ca>]

When calling shmget() with SHM_HUGETLB, shmget aligns the request size to PAGE_SIZE, but this is not sufficient.  Modified hugetlb_file_setup() to align requests to the huge page size.  Also modified mmap_pgoff() to avoid duplicating this check and to align against the start address.
