Subject: mm/mmap.c: initialize align_offset explicitly for vm_unmapped_area

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.
