Māris Nartišs da5e45e619 drm/nouveau/mmu: ALIGN_DOWN correct variable
Commit 7110c89bb8852ff8b0f88ce05b332b3fe22bd11e ("mmu: swap out round
for ALIGN") replaced two calls to round/rounddown with ALIGN/ALIGN_DOWN,
but erroneously applied ALIGN_DOWN to a different variable (addr) and left
intended variable (tail) not rounded/ALIGNed.

As a result screen corruption, X lockups are observable. An example of kernel
log of affected system with NV98 card where it was bisected:

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
