sched/core: Force proper alignment of 'struct util_est'

For some as yet not understood reason, Tony gets unaligned access
traps on IA64 because of:

  struct util_est ue = READ_ONCE(p->se.avg.util_est);

and:

  WRITE_ONCE(p->se.avg.util_est, ue);

introduced by commit:

  d519329f72a6 ("sched/fair: Update util_est only on util_avg updates")

Normally those two fields should end up on an 8-byte aligned location,
but UP and RANDSTRUCT can mess that up so enforce the alignment
explicitly.

Also make the alignment on sched_avg unconditional, as it is really
about data locality, not false-sharing.

With or without this patch the layout for sched_avg on a
ia64-defconfig build looks like:

	$ pahole -EC sched_avg ia64-defconfig/kernel/sched/core.o
	die__process_function: tag not supported (INVALID)!
	struct sched_avg {
		/* typedef u64 */ long long unsigned int     last_update_time;                   /*     0     8 */
		/* typedef u64 */ long long unsigned int     load_sum;                           /*     8     8 */
		/* typedef u64 */ long long unsigned int     runnable_load_sum;                  /*    16     8 */
		/* typedef u32 */ unsigned int               util_sum;                           /*    24     4 */
		/* typedef u32 */ unsigned int               period_contrib;                     /*    28     4 */
		long unsigned int          load_avg;                                             /*    32     8 */
		long unsigned int          runnable_load_avg;                                    /*    40     8 */
		long unsigned int          util_avg;                                             /*    48     8 */
		struct util_est {
			unsigned int       enqueued;                                             /*    56     4 */
			unsigned int       ewma;                                                 /*    60     4 */
		} util_est; /*    56     8 */
		/* --- cacheline 1 boundary (64 bytes) --- */

		/* size: 64, cachelines: 1, members: 9 */
	};
