[PATCH RFC v3 07/19] mm: use __GFP_ZERO in vma_alloc_anon_folio_pmd

["Michael S. Tsirkin" <mst@redhat.com>]

Convert vma_alloc_anon_folio_pmd() to pass __GFP_ZERO instead of
zeroing at the callsite.

Pass the exact fault address (not PMD-aligned) to vma_alloc_folio()
to ensure the cache locality optimization in folio_zero_user()
works correctly.  The NUMA interleave index computation already
shifts by PAGE_SHIFT + order, so the unmasked address gives the
same result.
