[RFC v2 2/3] atomic: Specify alignment for atomic_t and atomic64_t

[Finn Thain <fthain@linux-m68k.org>]

Some recent commits incorrectly assumed 4-byte alignment of locks.
That assumption fails on Linux/m68k (and, interestingly, would have
failed on Linux/cris also). Specify the minimum alignment of atomic
variables for fewer surprises and (hopefully) better performance.

Consistent with i386, atomic64_t is not given natural alignment here.

Changed since v1:
 - atomic64_t now gets an __aligned attribute too.
 - The 'Fixes' tag has been dropped because Lance sent a different fix
   for commit e711faaafbe5 ("hung_task: replace blocker_mutex with encoded
   blocker") that's suitable for -stable.
