[PATCH 1/2] x86: lib: setjmp: fix stack alignment

x86 stack is expected to be 16-byte aligned to allow for instructions
like movaps that involve xmm operands to directly use the stack.

However the 16-byte alignment is what's expected at startup time.
All later functions will have the stack misaligned by a pointer size's
worth because call pushes the return address to the call stack.

Add the missing (mis)alignment. This fixes a segmentation fault observed
using initjmp on x86_64.
