Subject: [PATCH] mm/sparse: fix ALIGN() without power of 2 in sparse_buffer_alloc()

The size argumnet passed into sparse_buffer_alloc() has already
aligned with PAGE_SIZE or PMD_SIZE.

If the size after aligned is not power of 2 (e.g. 0x480000), the
PTR_ALIGN() will return wrong value.
Use roundup to round sparsemap_buf up to next multiple of size.
