[PATCH v7 4/4] atomic: Add option for weaker alignment check

[Finn Thain <fthain@linux-m68k.org>]

Add a new Kconfig symbol to make CONFIG_DEBUG_ATOMIC more useful on
those architectures which do not align dynamic allocations to 8-byte
boundaries. Without this, CONFIG_DEBUG_ATOMIC produces excessive
WARN splats.

Changed since v6:
 - Rebased.

Changed since v5:
 - Rebased.

Changed since v3:
 - Dropped #include <linux/cache.h> to avoid a build failure on arm64.
 - Rewrote Kconfig help text to better describe preferred alignment.
 - Refactored to avoid line-wrapping and duplication.
