alpha: align hugetlb mappings in arch_get_unmapped_area()
hugetlb_get_unmapped_area() does not align the address itself; it delegates to mm_get_unmapped_area_vmaflags(), and the huge page alignment is applied by generic_get_unmapped_area() and generic_get_unmapped_area_topdown() via info.align_mask. Alpha defines HAVE_ARCH_UNMAPPED_AREA and supplies its own arch_get_unmapped_area(), which never sets align_mask. An mmap(MAP_HUGETLB) with no address hint would therefore return a merely page-aligned address. That has been the architecture's job since commit 7bd3f1e1a9ae ("mm: make hugetlb mappings go through mm_get_unmapped_area_vmflags"), whose series converted the generic code along with x86, s390, sparc and powerpc. LoongArch, which also has its own arch_get_unmapped_area(), was missed and hit a BUG in LTP's hugefork02 until commit 3109d5ff484b ("LoongArch: Set hugetlb mmap base address aligned with pmd size"). Pass the file down to arch_get_unmapped_area_1() and set align_mask for hugetlbfs mappings, as x86, s390, sparc and loongarch already do. This is a no-op until alpha gains hugetlb support.
