Hi,

Compared to previous version, add alignment checking to make sure
memory space storing redzone2 and last user tags is 8 byte alignment.

Subject: [PATCH] Fix missing of last user info while getting
DEBUG_SLAB config enabled.

Even with SLAB_RED_ZONE and SLAB_STORE_USER enabled, kernel would NOT
store redzone and last user data around allocated memory space if arch
cache line > sizeof(unsigned long long). As a result, last user information
is unexpectedly MISSED while dumping slab corruption log.

This fix makes sure that redzone and last user tags get stored unless
the required alignment breaks redzone's.
