block: use kmalloc alignment for bio slab Various subsystems can ask the bio subsystem to create a bio slab cache with some free space before the bio. This free space can be used for any purpose. Device mapper uses this per-bio-data feature to place some target-specific and device-mapper specific data before the bio, so that the target-specific data doesn't have to be allocated separately. This per-bio-data mechanism is used in place of kmalloc, so we need the allocated slab to have the same memory alignment as memory allocated with kmalloc. Change bio_find_or_create_slab() so that it uses ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN alignment when creating the slab cache. This is needed so that dm-crypt can use per-bio-data for encryption - the crypto subsystem assumes this data will have the same alignment as kmalloc'ed memory.
