[PATCH v5 04/15] mm/slab: Limit kmalloc() minimum alignment to dma_get_cache_alignment()

Do not create kmalloc() caches which are not aligned to
dma_get_cache_alignment(). There is no functional change since for
current architectures defining ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN, ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN
equals ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN (and dma_get_cache_alignment()). On
architectures without a specific ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN,
dma_get_cache_alignment() is 1, so no change to the kmalloc() caches.

If an architecture selects ARCH_HAS_DMA_CACHE_LINE_SIZE (introduced
previously), the kmalloc() caches will be aligned to a cache line size.
