memalign() is obsolete according to its manpage.

Replace memalign() with posix_memalign()

As a pointer is passed into posix_memalign(), initialize *one_page
to NULL to silence a warning about the function's return value being
used as uninitialized (which is not valid anyway because the error
is properly checked before one_page is returned).

^ I'm getting tired of pointing out the same thing.

Please collect similar patches and send them as a series; and stop
copy-pasting the same thing into all of the similar patches you send.

Last but not least, tag you patches accordingly: "selftests/mm: 
split_huge_page_test: ..."
