David Gibson dec4ad86c2 hugepage: fix broken check for offset alignment in hugepage mappings
For hugepage mappings, the file offset, like the address and size, needs to
be aligned to the size of a hugepage.

In commit 68589bc353, the check for this was
moved into prepare_hugepage_range() along with the address and size checks.
 But since BenH's rework of the get_unmapped_area() paths leading up to
commit 4b1d89290b, prepare_hugepage_range()
is only called for MAP_FIXED mappings, not for other mappings.  This means
we're no longer ever checking for an aligned offset - I've confirmed that
mmap() will (apparently) succeed with a misaligned offset on both powerpc
and i386 at least.

This patch restores the check, removing it from prepare_hugepage_range()
and putting it back into hugetlbfs_file_mmap().  I'm putting it there,
rather than in the get_unmapped_area() path so it only needs to go in one
place, than separately in the half-dozen or so arch-specific
implementations of hugetlb_get_unmapped_area().
