[PATCH] selftests/mm: Replace obsolete memalign() with posix_memalign()

From: Deming Wang
Date: Wed Apr 12 2023 - 05:35:35 EST


memalign() is obsolete according to its manpage.

Replace memalign() with posix_memalign().

As a pointer is passed into posix_memalign(),initialize *map to
NULL,to silence a warning about the function's return value being
used as uninitialized (which is not valid anyway because the
error is properly checked before p is returned).
