[PATCH v3 04/13] mm/slab: Allow kmalloc() minimum alignment fallback to dma_get_cache_alignment()

For architecture with ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN larger than
ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN, if no default swiotlb buffer is available, fall
back to a kmalloc() minimum alignment which is safe for DMA.

I'm not particularly fond of the slab_common.c code probing the default
swiotlb. In one incarnation I had a __weak arch_kmalloc_minalign()
overridden by the arch code but decided there wasn't anything arm64
specific in there.
