Andrey Ryabinin 5c9cf8af2e kernel: printk: specify alignment for struct printk_log
On architectures that have support for efficient unaligned access struct
printk_log has 4-byte alignment.  Specify alignment attribute in type
declaration.

The whole point of this patch is to fix deadlock which happening when
UBSAN detects unaligned access in printk() thus UBSAN recursively calls
printk() with logbuf_lock held by top printk() call.
