The alignment check in prepare_hugepage_range() is wrong for 2 GB
hugepages, it only checks for 1 MB hugepage alignment.
This can result in kernel crash in __unmap_hugepage_range() at the
BUG_ON(start & ~huge_page_mask(h)) alignment check, for mappings
created with MAP_FIXED at unaligned address.
Fix this by correctly handling multiple hugepage sizes, similar to the
generic version of prepare_hugepage_range().
Fixes: d08de8e2d8 ("s390/mm: add support for 2GB hugepages")

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
