Linux kernel's rt_sigprocmask correctly handles an unaligned user address[1]. The original issue was for qemu-user, which seems long irrelevant. Tested locally on an AArch64 CPU and qemu-aarch64-static. The alignment operation actually serves another purpose: when addr resides in the last 7 bytes of a page (unaligned), check only the current page and not the next. Update the comment.
