OK, thanks for explaining why it happens :) I also verified this does
not happen with SLAB or SLUB, only with SLOB.
I've updated the patch withyour comments and ack, updated patch below.

Subject: [PATCH] net: Add back alignment for size for __alloc_skb
Commit 87fb4b7b533073eeeaed0b6bf7c2328995f6c075 (net: more
accurate skb truesize) changed the alignment of size. This
can cause problems at least on some machines with NFS root:

Here PC is at __alloc_skb and &shinfo->dataref is unaligned because
skb->end can be unaligned without this patch.
As explained by Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com>, this happens
only with SLOB, and not with SLAB or SLUB:
