nommu: add page alignment to mmap
Currently on nommu arch mmap(),mremap() and munmap() doesn't do
page_align() which isn't consist with mmu arch and cause some issues.

First, some drivers' mmap() function depends on vma->vm_end - vma->start
is page aligned which is true on mmu arch but not on nommu.  eg: uvc
camera driver.

Second munmap() may return -EINVAL[split file] error in cases when end is
not page aligned(passed into from userspace) but vma->vm_end is aligned
dure to split or driver's mmap() ops.

Add page alignment to fix those issues.
