[PATCH] kho: make sure scratch size is always aligned by CMA_MIN_ALIGNMENT_BYTES

From: "Pratyush Yadav (Google)" <pratyush at kernel.org>
When using scratch_scale, the scratch sizes are rounded up to
CMA_MIN_ALIGNMENT_BYTES since they will be released as MIGRATE_CMA. This
is not done when using fixed scratch sizes via command line. This can
result in user specifying a size which is not aligned, and thus kernel
releasing a pageblock that is only partially scratch.
Do the rounding up for both cases in scratch_size_update().
Fixes: 3dc92c311498 ("kexec: add Kexec HandOver (KHO) generation helpers")
