In current kernel, hugetlb_no_page() calls folio_zero_user() with the
fault address. Where the fault address may be not aligned with the huge
page size. Then, folio_zero_user() may call clear_gigantic_page() with
the address, while clear_gigantic_page() requires the address to be huge
page size aligned. So, this may cause memory corruption or information
leak, addtional, use more obvious naming 'addr_hint' instead of 'addr'
for clear_gigantic_page().

Fixes: 78fefd04c123 ("mm: memory: convert clear_huge_page() to folio_zero_user()")

v3:
- revise patch description, suggested by Huang Ying
- use addr_hint for clear_gigantic_page(), suggested by David
v2: 
- update changelog to clarify the impact, per Andrew
