[PATCH v4 1/2] mm: Add PAGE_ALIGN_DOWN macro

[David Gow]

This is just the same as PAGE_ALIGN(), but rounds the address down, not
up.

- Add Andrew's Acked-by tag.

v2 was the first version of this patch (it having been introduced as
part of v2 of the UML/KASAN series).

There are almost certainly lots of places where this macro should be
used: just look for ALIGN_DOWN(..., PAGE_SIZE). I haven't gone through
to try to replace them all.
