Subject: [PATCH] mem: fix alignment requested with --base-virtaddr

[ upstream commit 9dac150f98b2e09d83c0b06e36baf3045dee833e ]

Whenever a calculated base-virtaddr offset had to be
manually aligned to requested page_sz, we did not take
account of that alignment in incrementing the base-virtaddr
offset further. The next requested virtual area could print
a warning "hint [...] not respected!" and let the system
pick an address instead. As a result, this breaks secondary
process support on many system configurations.

Fixes: b7cc54187ea4 ("mem: move virtual area function in common directory")
