[PATCH 1/4] ARM: alignment: save last kernel aligned fault location

Save and report (via the procfs file) the last kernel unaligned fault
location.  This allows us to trivially inspect where the last fault
happened for cases which we don't expect to occur.

Since we expect the kernel to generate misalignment faults (due to
the networking layer), even when warnings are enabled, we don't log
them for the kernel.
