[RFC PATCH] mm: mincore: use PAGE_SIZE instead of PAGE_CACHE_SIZE

[Weijie Yang]

This is a RFC patch, because current PAGE_SIZE is equal to PAGE_CACHE_SIZE,
there isn't any difference and issue when running.

However, the current code mixes these two aligned_size inconsistently, and if
they are not equal in future mincore_unmapped_range() would check more file
pages than wanted.

According to man-page, mincore uses PAGE_SIZE as its size unit, so this patch
uses PAGE_SIZE instead of PAGE_CACHE_SIZE.
