bpf: Support doubleword alignment in bpf_jit_binary_alloc
Currently passing alignment greater than 4 to bpf_jit_binary_alloc does not work: in such cases it silently aligns only to 4 bytes. On s390, in order to load a constant from memory in a large (>512k) BPF program, one must use lgrl instruction, whose memory operand must be aligned on an 8-byte boundary. This patch makes it possible to request 8-byte alignment from bpf_jit_binary_alloc, and also makes it issue a warning when an unsupported alignment is requested.
