commit 82e5d378b0e47 ("mm/hugetlb: refactor subpage recording")
refactored the count of subpages but missed an edge case when @vaddr is
not aligned to PAGE_SIZE e.g. when close to vma->vm_end. It would then
errousnly set @refs to 0 and record_subpages_vmas() wouldn't set the
 @pages array element to its value, consequently causing the reported
null-deref by syzbot.

Fix it by aligning down @vaddr by PAGE_SIZE in @refs calculation.

An alternate approach is to have record_subpages_vmas() iterate while
addr < vm_end and renaming @refs to nr_pages (which would limit how many
pages we should store). But I felt that this approach would be slightly
more convoluted?

Side-Note: I could add a WARN_ON_ONCE(!refs) and/or create an
helper like vma_pages() but with a ulong addr argument e.g.
vma_pages_from(vma, vaddr).

The syzbot repro no longer reproduces after this patch. Additionally, ran
the libhugetlbfs tests (which were passing without this), gup_test and an
extra gup_test extension that take an offset to exercise gup() starting
address not being page aligned.
