[POWERPC] Fix size check for hugetlbfs

My "slices" address space management code that was added in the 2.6.22
implementation of get_unmapped_area() doesn't properly check that the
size is a multiple of the requested page size.  This allows userland to
create VMAs that aren't a multiple of the huge page size with hugetlbfs
(since hugetlbfs entirely relies on get_unmapped_area() to do that
checking) which leads to a kernel BUG() when such areas are torn down.
