Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] mm: Add PAGE_ALIGN_DOWN macro

This is just the same as PAGE_ALIGN(), but rounds the address down, not
up.

Suggested-by: Dmitry Vyukov <dvyukov@...gle.com>

Note: there is no v1 of this patch, it's just part of v2 of the
UML/KASAN series.

There are almost certainly lots of places where this macro should be
used: just look for ALIGN_DOWN(..., PAGE_SIZE). I haven't gone through
to try to replace them all.
