ipc/util.c, ipc_rcu_alloc: cacheline align allocation
commit 196aa0132fc7261f34b10ae1bfb44abc1bc69b3c upstream. Enforce that ipc_rcu_alloc returns a cacheline aligned pointer on SMP. Rationale: The SysV sem code tries to move the main spinlock into a seperate cacheline (____cacheline_aligned_in_smp). This works only if ipc_rcu_alloc returns cacheline aligned pointers. vmalloc and kmalloc return cacheline algined pointers, the implementation of ipc_rcu_alloc breaks that.
