Correct, so I guess I should return here 4096.

I also think that the check in vhost_vdpa_mmap() should verify that the
returned size is not smaller than PAGE_SIZE because the returned address
might just be aligned to PAGE_SIZE. I think this should be enoght but
maybe also use the same logic in vhost_vdpa_fault().
