Subject: [PATCH 2/2] mm/vmalloc: Check various alignments when debugging

Before we did not guarantee a free block with lowest start address
for allocations with alignment >= PAGE_SIZE. Because an alignment
overhead was included into a search length like below:

     length = size + align - 1;

doing so we make sure that a bigger block would fit after applying
an alignment adjustment. Now there is no such limitation, i.e. any
alignment that user wants to apply will result to a lowest address
of returned free area.
