powerpc/fadump: align destination address to pagesize
On crash, boot memory area is copied to a destination address by f/w.
This region is setup as separate PT_LOAD segment with appropriate
offset to handle the different physical address and offset in vmcore.
If this destination address is not page aligned, reading the vmcore
with mmap is likely to fail forcing tools like makedumpfile to fall
back to regular read. Avoid mmap read failure by ensuring that the
destination address is always page aligned.
