Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: LoongArch: Set hugetlb mmap base address aligned with pmd size With ltp test case "testcases/bin/hugefork02", there is a dmesg error report message such as: kernel BUG at mm/hugetlb.c:5550!

Here add a checking for hugetlbfs and align base address with pmd size. After this patch the test case "testcases/bin/hugefork02" passes to run. This is similar to the commit 7f24cbc9c4d42db8a3c8484d1 ("mm/mmap: teach generic_get_unmapped_area{_topdown} to handle hugetlb mappings").
