But there are other callers of check_buffer() later in the series that
don't require pointer-size alignment. u32 alignment is consistent with
the alignment requirements of the binder driver before this change.
The copy functions don't actually need to insist on alignment, but
these binder buffer objects have always used u32 alignment which has
been checked in the driver. If user code misaligned it, then errors
are returned. The alignment checks are really to be consistent with
previous binder driver behavior.
