Subject: [PATCHv2 1/2] x86/mm: Do not allow non-MAP_FIXED mapping across DEFAULT_MAP_WINDOW border

In case of 5-level paging, we don't put any mapping above 47-bit, unless
userspace explicitly asked for it.

Userspace can ask for allocation from full address space by specifying
hint address above 47-bit.

Nicholas noticed that current implementation violates this interface:
we can get vma partly in high addresses if we ask for a mapping at very
end of 47-bit address space.

Let's make sure that, when consider hint address for non-MAP_FIXED
mapping, start and end of resulting vma are on the same side of 47-bit
border.

 v2:
   - add a comment to explain behaviour;
   - cover hugetlb case too;
