mm: vmalloc: WARN_ON if mapping size is not PAGE_SIZE aligned
In mm/vmalloc.c, the function vmap_pte_range() assumes that the mapping
size is aligned to PAGE_SIZE. If this assumption is violated, the loop
will become infinite because the termination condition (`addr != end`)
will never be met. This can lead to overwriting other VA ranges and/or
random pages physically follow the page table.
It's the caller's responsibility to ensure that the mapping size is
aligned to PAGE_SIZE. However, the memory corruption is hard to root
cause. To identify the programming error in the caller easier, check
whether the mapping size is PAGE_SIZE aligned with WARN_ON_ONCE().
