Revert: "ring-buffer: Remove HAVE_64BIT_ALIGNED_ACCESS"

It was believed that metag was the only architecture that required the ring
buffer to keep 8 byte words aligned on 8 byte architectures, and with its
removal, it was assumed that the ring buffer code did not need to handle
this case. It appears that sparc64 also requires this.

The following was reported on a sparc64 boot up:

   kernel: futex hash table entries: 65536 (order: 9, 4194304 bytes, linear)
   kernel: Running postponed tracer tests:
   kernel: Testing tracer function:
   kernel: Kernel unaligned access at TPC[552a20] trace_function+0x40/0x140
   kernel: Kernel unaligned access at TPC[552a24] trace_function+0x44/0x140
   kernel: Kernel unaligned access at TPC[552a20] trace_function+0x40/0x140
   kernel: Kernel unaligned access at TPC[552a24] trace_function+0x44/0x140
   kernel: Kernel unaligned access at TPC[552a20] trace_function+0x40/0x140
   kernel: PASSED

Need to put back the 64BIT aligned code for the ring buffer.

Some architectures require 64 bit accesses to be 64 bit
aligned, which also requires structs containing 64 bit values
to be 64 bit aligned too. This includes some 32 bit
architectures which can do 64 bit accesses, as well as 64 bit
architectures without unaligned access.
This symbol should be selected by an architecture if 64 bit
accesses are required to be 64 bit aligned in this way even
though it is not a 64 bit architecture.
See Documentation/unaligned-memory-access.txt for more
information on the topic of unaligned memory accesses.
