[PATCH v2 1/2] mm: use aligned address in clear_gigantic_page()

When clearing gigantic page, it zeros page from the first page to the
last page, if directly passing addr_hint which maybe not the address
of the first page of folio, then some archs could flush the wrong cache
if it does use the addr_hint as a hint. For non-gigantic page, it
calculates the base address inside, even passed the wrong addr_hint, it
only has performance impact as the process_huge_page() wants to process
target page last to keep its cache lines hot), no functional impact.

Let's pass the real accessed address to folio_zero_user() and use the
aligned address in clear_gigantic_page() to fix it.
