The PCM hw_params core function tries to clear up the PCM buffer before actually using for avoiding the information leak from the previous usages or the usage before a new allocation. It performs the memset() with runtime->dma_bytes, but this might still leave some remaining bytes untouched; namely, the PCM buffer size is aligned in page size for mmap, hence runtime->dma_bytes doesn't necessarily cover all PCM buffer pages, and the remaining bytes are exposed via mmap. This patch changes the memory clearance to cover the all buffer pages if the stream is supposed to be mmap-ready (that guarantees that the buffer size is aligned in page size).
