Subject: [PATCH rc v2 1/4] iommufd/selftest: Fix iommufd_dirty_tracking with large hugepage sizes

The hugepage test cases of iommufd_dirty_tracking have the 64MB and 128MB
coverages. Both of them are smaller than the default hugepage size 512MB,
when CONFIG_PAGE_SIZE_64KB=y. However, these test cases have a variant of
using huge pages, which would mmap(MAP_HUGETLB) using these smaller sizes
than the system hugepag size. This results in the kernel aligning up the
smaller size to 512MB. If a memory was located between the upper 64/128MB
size boundary and the hugepage 512MB boundary, it would get wiped out:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/aEoUhPYIAizTLADq@nvidia.com/

Given that this aligning up behavior is well documented, we have no choice
but to allocate a hugepage aligned size to avoid this unintended wipe out.
Instead of relying on the kernel's internal force alignment, pass the same
size to posix_memalign() and map().

Also, fix the FIXTURE_TEARDOWN() misusing munmap() to free the memory from
posix_memalign(), as munmap() doesn't destroy the allocator meta data. So,
call free() instead.
