kernel: printk: specify alignment for struct printk_log
On architectures that have support for efficient unaligned access struct printk_log has 4-byte alignment. Specify alignment attribute in type declaration. The whole point of this patch is to fix deadlock which happening when UBSAN detects unaligned access in printk() thus UBSAN recursively calls printk() with logbuf_lock held by top printk() call.
