[SPARC64]: 8-byte align return value from compat_alloc_user_space()
Otherwise we get a ton of unaligned exceptions, for cases such as compat_sys_msgrcv() which go: p = compat_alloc_user_space(second + sizeof(struct msgbuf)); and here 'second' can for example be an arbitrary odd value. Based upon a bug report from Jurij Smakov. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
