On passing requirement to vm_unmapped_area, arch_get_unmapped_area and arch_get_unmapped_area_topdown did not set align_offset. Internally on both unmapped_area and unmapped_area_topdown, if info->align_mask is 0, then info->align_offset was meaningless. But commit df529cabb7a2 ("mm: mmap: add trace point of vm_unmapped_area") always prints info->align_offset even though it is uninitialized. Fix this uninitialized value issue by setting it to 0 explicitly.
