mm/debug_vm_pgtable: fix alignment for pmd/pud_advanced_tests()

Browse source 
In pmd/pud_advanced_tests(), the vaddr is aligned up to the next pmd/pud
entry, and so it does not match the given pmdp/pudp and (aligned down)
pfn any more.

For s390, this results in memory corruption, because the IDTE
instruction used e.g.  in xxx_get_and_clear() will take the vaddr for
some calculations, in combination with the given pmdp.  It will then end
up with a wrong table origin, ending on ...ff8, and some of those
wrongly set low-order bits will also select a wrong pagetable level for
the index addition.  IDTE could therefore invalidate (or 0x20) something
outside of the page tables, depending on the wrongly picked index, which
in turn depends on the random vaddr.

As result, we sometimes see "BUG task_struct (Not tainted): Padding
overwritten" on s390, where one 0x5a padding value got overwritten with
0x7a.

Fix this by aligning down, similar to how the pmd/pud_aligned pfns are
calculated.
