Subject: [PATCH resend v2] /dev/zero: try to align PMD_SIZE for private mapping
Attempt to map aligned to huge page size for private mapping which
could achieve performance gains, the mprot_tw4m in libMicro average
execution time on arm64:
- Test case: mprot_tw4m
- Before the patch: 22 us
- After the patch: 17 us
Signed-off-by: Zhang Qilong <zhangqilong3@...wei.com>

v2:
- Add comments on code suggested by Lorenzo
