selftests: net: avoid ptl lock contention in tcp_mmap

tcp_mmap is used as a reference program for TCP rx zerocopy,
so it is important to point out some potential issues.

If multiple threads are concurrently using getsockopt(...
TCP_ZEROCOPY_RECEIVE), there is a chance the low-level mm
functions compete on shared ptl lock, if vma are arbitrary placed.

Instead of letting the mm layer place the chunks back to back,
this patch enforces an alignment so that each thread uses
a different ptl lock.

Performance measured on a 100 Gbit NIC, with 8 tcp_mmap clients
launched at the same time :

$ for f in {1..8}; do ./tcp_mmap -H 2002:a05:6608:290:: & done

In the following run, we reproduce the old behavior by requesting no alignment :

$ tcp_mmap -sz -C $((128*1024)) -a 4096

New behavior (automatic alignment based on Hugepagesize),
we can see the system overhead being dramatically reduced.
