s390/mm: remove useless hugepage address alignment

Browse Source 
The failing address alignment to HPAGE_MASK in do_exception(), for
hugetlb faults, was useless from the beginning. With 2 GB hugepage
support it became wrong, but w/o further negative impact. Now it
could have negative performance impact because it breaks the cacheline
optimization for process_huge_page().

Therefore, remove it.

Note that we still have failing address alignment by HW to PAGE_SIZE,
for all page faults, not just hugetlb faults. So this patch will not
fix UFFD_FEATURE_EXACT_ADDRESS for userfaultfd handling. It will just
move the failing address for hugetlb faults a bit closer to the real
address, at 4K page granularity, similar to normal page faults.
