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

From: Deming Wang
Date: Wed Apr 12 2023 - 21:17:29 EST


memalign() is obsolete according to its manpage.

Replace memalign() with posix_memalign()

As a pointer is passed into posix_memalign(), initialize *one_page
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 one_page is returned).
