The header file linux/mm.h provides PAGE_ALIGN, PAGE_ALIGNED,
PAGE_ALIGN_DOWN macros. Use these macros to make code more
concise.

Is there anything benefit from the change?

In fact, PAGE_ALIGN()/PAGE_ALIGNED() is just using the same
ALIGN()/IS_ALIGNED() macro.

Thus I don't think your change is of any usefulness, not to mention it's
going to introduce confusion and extra effort.

I'm completely fine with regular ALIGN()/IS_ALIGNED() usage with PAGE_SIZE.

We already have PAGE_ALIGN in some places and I think it's a bit better
than the ALIGN/IS_ALIGN as it's clear that it's for a page.

I'd argue that PAGE_ALIGN() is good for MM code, which btrfs has some.

But overall, btrfs is more about sector alignment, and if we need to mix them, regular ALIGN() would be more flex.

Thanks,
