fsverity: add dependency on 64K or smaller pages
Currently, all filesystems that support fsverity (ext4, f2fs, and btrfs) cache the Merkle tree in the pagecache at a 64K aligned offset after the end of the file data. This offset needs to be a multiple of the page size, which is guaranteed only when the page size is 64K or smaller. 64K was chosen to be the "largest reasonable page size". But it isn't the largest *possible* page size: the hexagon and powerpc ports of Linux support 256K pages, though that configuration is rarely used. For now, just disable support for FS_VERITY in these odd configurations to ensure it isn't used in cases where it would have incorrect behavior.
