powerpc/32: Add warning on misaligned copy_page() or clear_page()
copy_page() and clear_page() expect page aligned destination, and use dcbz instruction to clear entire cache lines based on the assumption that the destination is cache aligned. As shown during analysis of a bug in BTRFS filesystem, a misaligned copy_page() can create bugs that are difficult to locate (see Link). Add an explicit WARNING when copy_page() or clear_page() are called with misaligned destination.
