x86/build: Fix stack alignment for CLang

Commit:

d77698df39a5 ("x86/build: Specify stack alignment for clang")

intended to use the same stack alignment for clang as with gcc.

The two compilers use different options to configure the stack alignment
(gcc: -mpreferred-stack-boundary=n, clang: -mstack-alignment=n).

The above commit assumes that the clang option uses the same parameter
type as gcc, i.e. that the alignment is specified as 2^n. However clang
interprets the value of this option literally to use an alignment of n,
in consequence the stack remains misaligned.

Change the values used with -mstack-alignment to be the actual alignment
instead of a power of two.
