powerpc/hugetlb: Handle mmap_min_addr correctly in get_unmapped_area callback
After we ALIGN up the address we need to make sure we didn't overflow and resulted in zero address. In that case, we need to make sure that the returned address is greater than mmap_min_addr. This fixes selftest va_128TBswitch --run-hugetlb reporting failures when run as non root user for mmap(-1, MAP_HUGETLB) The bug is that a non-root user requesting address -1 will be given address 0 which will then fail, whereas they should have been given something else that would have succeeded. We also avoid the first mmap(-1, MAP_HUGETLB) returning NULL address as mmap address with this change. So we think this is not a security issue, because it only affects whether we choose an address below mmap_min_addr, not whether we actually allow that address to be mapped. ie. there are existing capability checks to prevent a user mapping below mmap_min_addr and those will still be honoured even without this fix.
