[RFC v2 43/43] PKRAM: improve index alignment of pkram_link entries

To take advantage of optimizations when adding pages to the page cache
via shmem_insert_pages(), improve the likelihood that the pages array
passed to shmem_insert_pages() starts on an aligned index.  Do this
when preserving pages by starting a new pkram_link page when the current
page is aligned and the next aligned page will not fit on the pkram_link
page.
