slub: always align cpu_slab to honor cmpxchg_double requirement

Browse source 
On an architecture without CMPXCHG_LOCAL but with DEBUG_VM enabled,
the VM_BUG_ON() in __pcpu_double_call_return_bool() will cause an early
panic during boot unless we always align cpu_slab properly.

In principle we could remove the alignment-testing VM_BUG_ON() for
architectures that don't have CMPXCHG_LOCAL, but leaving it in means
that new code will tend not to break x86 even if it is introduced
on another platform, and it's low cost to require alignment.

* Special handling for cmpxchg_double. cmpxchg_double is passed two
* percpu variables. The first has to be aligned to a double word
* boundary and the second has to follow directly thereafter.
* We enforce this on all architectures even if they don't support
* a double cmpxchg instruction, since it's a cheap requirement, and it
* avoids breaking the requirement for architectures with the instruction.
