4.19-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Alexey Brodkin <alexey.brodkin@synopsys.com>

commit a66d972465d15b1d89281258805eb8b47d66bd36 upstream.

Initially we bumped into problem with 32-bit aligned atomic64_t
on ARC, see [1]. And then during quite lengthly discussion Peter Z.
mentioned ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN which IMHO makes perfect sense.
If allocation is done by plain kmalloc() obtained buffer will be
ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN aligned and then why buffer obtained via
devm_kmalloc() should have any other alignment?

This way we at least get the same behavior for both types of
allocation.
