Geert Uytterhoeven 258a980d1e net: dst: Force 4-byte alignment of dst_metrics 
When storing a pointer to a dst_metrics structure in dst_entry._metrics,
two flags are added in the least significant bits of the pointer value.
Hence this assumes all pointers to dst_metrics structures have at least
4-byte alignment.

However, on m68k, the minimum alignment of 32-bit values is 2 bytes, not
4 bytes.  Hence in some kernel builds, dst_default_metrics may be only
2-byte aligned, leading to obscure boot warnings like:

    WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 7 at lib/refcount.c:28 refcount_warn_saturate+0x44/0x9a
    refcount_t: underflow; use-after-free.

Fix this by forcing 4-byte alignment of all dst_metrics structures.

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
