Dev Jain 4afb85f5e3 mm: remove PMD alignment constraint in execmem_vmalloc() ...

When using vmalloc with VM_ALLOW_HUGE_VMAP flag, it will set the alignment
to PMD_SIZE internally, if it deems huge mappings to be eligible. 
Therefore, setting the alignment in execmem_vmalloc is redundant.  Apart
from this, it also reduces the probability of allocation in case vmalloc
fails to allocate hugepages - in the fallback case, vmalloc tries to use
the original alignment and allocate basepages, which unfortunately will
again be PMD_SIZE passed over from execmem_vmalloc, thus constraining the
search for a free space in vmalloc region.

Therefore, remove this constraint.
