[POWERPC] spufs: Make isolated loader properly aligned
According to the comment in spufs_init_isolated_loader(), the isolated loader should be aligned on a 16 byte boundary. ARCH_{KMALLOC,SLAB}_MINALIGN is not defined so only 8 byte alignment is guaranteed. This enforces alignment via __get_free_pages.
