shmem: get_unmapped_area align huge page
Provide a shmem_get_unmapped_area method in file_operations, called at mmap time to decide the mapping address. It could be conditional on CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE, but save #ifdefs in other places by making it unconditional. shmem_get_unmapped_area() first calls the usual mm->get_unmapped_area (which we treat as a black box, highly dependent on architecture and config and executable layout). Lots of conditions, and in most cases it just goes with the address that chose; but when our huge stars are rightly aligned, yet that did not provide a suitable address, go back to ask for a larger arena, within which to align the mapping suitably. There have to be some direct calls to shmem_get_unmapped_area(), not via the file_operations: because of the way shmem_zero_setup() is called to create a shmem object late in the mmap sequence, when MAP_SHARED is requested with MAP_ANONYMOUS or /dev/zero. Though this only matters when /proc/sys/vm/shmem_huge has been set.
