mm/ksm.c: ignore STABLE_FLAG of rmap_item->address in rmap_walk_ksm()
In our armv8a server(QDF2400), I noticed lots of WARN_ON caused by
PAGE_SIZE unaligned for rmap_item->address under memory pressure
tests(start 20 guests and run memhog in the host).

In rmap_walk_ksm, the rmap_item->address might still have the
STABLE_FLAG, then the start and end in handle_hva_to_gpa might not be
PAGE_SIZE aligned. Thus it will cause exceptions in handle_hva_to_gpa
on arm64.
This patch fixes it by ignoring (not removing) the low bits of address
when doing rmap_walk_ksm.
IMO, it should be backported to stable tree. the storm of WARN_ONs is
very easy for me to reproduce. More than that, I watched a panic (not
reproducible) as follows:
page:ffff7fe003742d80 count:-4871 mapcount:-2126053375 mapping: (null) index:0x0

I even injected a fault on purpose in kvm_unmap_hva_range by seting
size=size-0x200, the call trace is similar as above. So I thought the
panic is similarly caused by the root cause of WARN_ON.

: It looks a straightforward safe fix, on x86 hva_to_gfn_memslot would
: zap those bits and hide the misalignment caused by the low metadata
: bits being erroneously left set in the address, but the arm code
: notices when that's the last page in the memslot and the hva_end is
: getting aligned and the size is below one page.
:
: I think the problem triggers in the addr += PAGE_SIZE of
: unmap_stage2_ptes that never matches end because end is aligned but
: addr is not.
:
: } while (pte++, addr += PAGE_SIZE, addr != end);
:
: x86 again only works on hva_start/hva_end after converting it to
: gfn_start/end and that being in pfn units the bits are zapped before
: they risk to cause trouble.

: I've tested by myself in arm64 server (QDF2400,46 cpus,96G mem) Without
: this patch, the WARN_ON is very easy for reproducing. After this patch, I
: have run the same benchmarch for a whole day without any WARN_ONs
