Assert that the GPA for a memslot backed by a hugepage is aligned to the hugepage size and fix perf_test_util accordingly. Lack of GPA alignment prevents KVM from backing the guest with hugepages, e.g. x86's write-protection of hugepages when dirty logging is activated is otherwise not exercised. Add a comment explaining that guest_page_size is for non-huge pages to try and avoid confusion about what it actually tracks.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
