[ Upstream commit a66d972465d15b1d89281258805eb8b47d66bd36 ]
Initially we bumped into problem with 32-bit aligned atomic64_t on ARC, see [1]. And then during quite lengthly discussion Peter Z. mentioned ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN which IMHO makes perfect sense. If allocation is done by plain kmalloc() obtained buffer will be ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN aligned and then why buffer obtained via devm_kmalloc() should have any other alignment?
This way we at least get the same behavior for both types of allocation.

Sony ships this thing? Wow... Ok, I'll take it (for the next round), but supposidly it only affected ARC systems, which I'm pretty sure are not Sony phones :)
