From: Joao Martins <joao.m.martins@xxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: mm/hugetlb: fix refs calculation from unaligned @vaddr

commit 82e5d378b0e47 ("mm/hugetlb: refactor subpage recording") refactored
the count of subpages but missed an edge case when @vaddr is not aligned
to PAGE_SIZE e.g.  when close to vma->vm_end.  It would then errousnly set
@refs to 0 and record_subpages_vmas() wouldn't set the @pages array
element to its value, consequently causing the reported null-deref by
syzbot.

Fix it by aligning down @vaddr by PAGE_SIZE in @refs calculation.
