PCI: sysfs: Reject unaligned resource I/O port accesses
This commit adds a check in pci_resource_io() to validate that the requested
port is aligned to the access size. This prevents alignment faults and kernel
oopses on architectures like arm64 when accessing Device-memory mappings.

[Severity: Low]
Does this code call IS_ALIGNED() with an unvalidated user input for the
alignment argument?
The IS_ALIGNED() macro strictly requires its alignment argument to be a power
of two, but count comes from user space (via pread or pwrite) and could be a
non-power-of-two value like 3. Passing a non-power-of-two value results in
meaningless bitwise operations.
While the subsequent switch (count) statement catches and rejects invalid
sizes by returning -EINVAL, would it be more appropriate to perform this
alignment check after validating that count is actually 1, 2, or 4?
