Since hugetlb mappings were made to go through the architecture's
arch_get_unmapped_area{,_topdown}(), every architecture that implements
those has to align hugetlb files itself. The generic implementation and
loongarch do it with huge_page_mask_align(); MIPS was left out.

A non-MAP_FIXED mmap() of a hugetlbfs file therefore returns an address
that is only SHMLBA aligned, and the kernel then installs 2 MB PMDs for
a VMA that starts in the middle of a PMD. The consequences on an
Octeon (CN63XX) board running a process that links libhugetlbfs with
HUGETLB_ELFMAP=R and HUGETLB_MORECORE=yes, all within a minute of
start: the neighbouring 4 KB page table is clobbered, the TLB ends up
with overlapping entries ("Caught Machine Check exception - caused by
multiple matching entries in the TLB"), process exit trips
BUG_ON(start & ~huge_page_mask(h)) in __unmap_hugepage_range(), and
freed pages leak into unrelated kernel structures (oopses in the irq
maple tree, in pte_offset_map, ...).

Do what loongarch does in commit 3109d5ff484b ("LoongArch: Set hugetlb
mmap base address aligned with pmd size"): when the file is a hugetlb
file, use its page mask as the search alignment instead of the cache
colour mask.

Fixes: 7bd3f1e1a9ae ("mm: make hugetlb mappings go through mm_get_unmapped_area_vmflags")
