mm, slab: initialize object alignment on cache creation
commit d4a5fca592b9ab52b90bb261a90af3c8f53be011 upstream.
Since commit 4590685546a3 ("mm/sl[aou]b: Common alignment code"), the
"ralign" automatic variable in __kmem_cache_create() may be used as
uninitialized.
The proper alignment defaults to BYTES_PER_WORD and can be overridden by
SLAB_RED_ZONE or the alignment specified by the caller.
