[PATCH] arm64: bpf: Fix UBSAN misaligned access in BPF JIT

struct bpf_plt contains a u64 'target' field. The BPF JIT allocator
was using an alignment of 4 bytes (sizeof(u32)), which could lead
to the 'target' field being misaligned in the JIT buffer.
Increase the alignment requirement to 8 bytes (sizeof(u64)) in
bpf_jit_binary_pack_alloc() to guarantee proper alignment for
struct bpf_plt.
Fixes: b2ad54e1533e9 ("bpf, arm64: Implement bpf_arch_text_poke() for arm64")
