[POWERPC] Fix size check for hugetlbfs
My "slices" address space management code that was added in the 2.6.22 implementation of get_unmapped_area() doesn't properly check that the size is a multiple of the requested page size. This allows userland to create VMAs that aren't a multiple of the huge page size with hugetlbfs (since hugetlbfs entirely relies on get_unmapped_area() to do that checking) which leads to a kernel BUG() when such areas are torn down.
