It should be "~PAGE_MASK", "PAGE_MASK" has an opposite convention of
"AMDGPU_GPU_PAGE_MASK" :(.

On my platform, there are two issues both causing the VM corruption.  One is
fixed by agd5f/linux@fe001e7.  Another is in Mesa from userspace:  it uses
`dev_info->gart_page_size` as the alignment, but the kernel AMDGPU driver
expects it to use `dev_info->virtual_address_alignment`.

If we can make the change to fill the GPUVM on a 4k basis, we can fix this issue
and make virtual_address_alignment = 4K.  Otherwise, we should fortify the
parameter validation, changing "AMDGPU_GPU_PAGE_MASK" to "~PAGE_MASK".  Then the
userspace will just get an EINVAL, instead of a slient VM corruption.  And
someone should tell Mesa developers to fix the code in this case.
