[PATCH] kunmap_atomic debugging problem

[resend from a few months ago ;)]

I found a bug in the HIGHMEM_DEBUG code, in kunmap_atomic()
to be specific. The problem is that kunmap_atomic() can get
called with an address which isn't page aligned, but we compare
that address to a page aligned address and bug if the two
aren't equal.

The obvious fix is to page-align the address before doing the
check, we're not doing anything else with it anyway since
kunmap_atomic() is a nop if HIGHMEM_DEBUG is off.
