  515ab7c41306: ("x86/mm: Align TLB invalidation info")

I found out (the hard way) that under some .config options (notably L1_CACHE_SHIFT=7)
and compiler combinations this on-stack alignment leads to a 320 byte
stack usage, which then triggers a KASAN stack warning elsewhere.

Using 320 bytes of stack space for a 40 byte structure is ludicrous and
clearly not right.
