Subject: [PATCH v1 12/14] mm/mshare: Add a proc file with mshare alignment/size information

mshare regions are subject to size and alignment requirement. This
alignment boundary can be different on different architectures and
userspace needs a way to know what the requirement is. Add a file
/proc/sys/vm//mshare_size that can be read by userspace to get
the alignment and size requirement.

Signed-off-by: Khalid Aziz <khalid.aziz@...cle.com>
---
v1:
	- Provide a way for userspace to determine alignment and
	  size retriction (based upon feedback from Dave Hansen)
