[PATCH v16 23/23] selftests: vm: pkeys: Use the correct page size on powerpc

Both 4K and 64K pages are supported on powerpc. Parts of
the selftest code perform alignment computations based on
the PAGE_SIZE macro which is currently hardcoded to 64K
for powerpc. This causes some test failures on kernels
configured with 4K page size.

In some cases, we need to enforce function alignment to
page size. Since this can only be done at build time,
64K is used as the alignment factor as that ensures 4K
alignment as well.
