Reduce number of mmap calls from __libc_memalign in ld.so

Browse Source 
__libc_memalign in ld.so allocates one page at a time and tries to
optimize consecutive __libc_memalign calls by hoping that the next
mmap is after the current memory allocation.

However, the kernel hands out mmap addresses in top-down order, so
this optimization in practice never happens, with the result that we
have more mmap calls and waste a bunch of space for each __libc_memalign.

This change makes __libc_memalign to mmap one page extra.  Worst case,
the kernel never puts a backing page behind it, but best case it allows
__libc_memalign to operate much much better.  For elf/tst-align --direct,
it reduces number of mmap calls from 12 to 9.

	* elf/dl-minimal.c (__libc_memalign): Mmap one extra page.
