powerpc/rtas: ensure 8-byte alignment for struct rtas_args
CHRP and PAPR agree: "In order to make an RTAS call, the operating system must construct an argument call buffer aligned on an eight byte boundary in physically contiguous real memory [...]." (7.2.7 Calling Mechanism and Conventions). struct rtas_args is the type used for this argument call buffer. The unarchitected 'rets' member happens to produce 8-byte alignment for the struct on 64-bit targets in practice. But without an alignment directive the structure will have only 4-byte alignment on 32-bit targets: $ nm b/{before,after}/chrp32/vmlinux | grep rtas_args c096881c b rtas_args c0968820 b rtas_args Add an alignment directive to the struct rtas_args declaration so all instances have the alignment required by the specs. rtas-types.h no longer refers to any spinlock types, so drop the spinlock_types.h inclusion while we're here.
