When running the sampler detailed below, the kernel, if built with the VM debug option turned on (as many distro do), is panicing with the following message:

The panic is due to a VMA pointing to a hugetlb area while the vma->vm_start or vma->vm_end field are not aligned to the huge page boundaries. The sampler is just unmapping a part of the hugetlb area, leading to 2 VMAs which are not well aligned. The same could be achieved by calling madvise() situation, as it is when running: stress-ng --shm-sysv 1
The hugetlb code is assuming that the VMA will be well aligned when it is unmapped, so we must prevent such a VMA from bing split or shrunk to a misaligned address.
This patch prevents this by checking the new VMA's boundaries when a VMA is modified by calling vma_adjust().
