RELAND: bionic: loader: Extend LOAD segment VMAs
When the page_size < p_align of the ELF load segment, the loader
will end up creating extra PROT_NONE gap VMA mappings between the
LOAD segments. This problem is exacerbated by Android's zygote
model, where the number of loaded .so's can lead to ~30MB increase
in vm_area_struct unreclaimable slab memory.
Extend the LOAD segment VMA's to cover the range between the
segment's end and the start of the next segment, being careful
to avoid touching regions of the extended mapping where the offset
would overrun the size of the file. This avoids the loader
creating an additional gap VMA for each LOAD segment.
Consider a system with 4KB page size and the ELF files with 64K
alignment. e.g:
$ readelf -Wl /system/lib64/bootstrap/libc.so | grep 'Type\|LOAD'
Type Offset VirtAddr PhysAddr FileSiz MemSiz Flg Align

3 additional PROT_NONE (---p) VMAs for gap mappings.

No additional gap VMAs. However notice there is an extra RW VMA at
offset 0x000da000. This is caused by the RO protection of the
GNU_RELRO segment, which causes the extended RW VMA to split.
The GNU_RELRO protection extension is handled in the subsequent
patch in this series.
