[PATCH 6.1 070/127] rust: allocator: Prevent mis-aligned allocation

From: Boqun Feng <boqun.feng@gmail.com>

commit b3d8aa84bbfe9b58ccc5332cacf8ea17200af310 upstream.

Currently the rust allocator simply passes the size of the type Layout
to krealloc(), and in theory the alignment requirement from the type
Layout may be larger than the guarantee provided by SLAB, which means
the allocated object is mis-aligned.

Fix this by adjusting the allocation size to the nearest power of two,
which SLAB always guarantees a size-aligned allocation. And because Rust
guarantees that the original size must be a multiple of alignment and
the alignment must be a power of two, then the alignment requirement is
satisfied.
