Boqun Feng f0618c305b rust: allocator: Prevent mis-aligned allocation
commit b3d8aa84bb upstream.

Currently the rust allocator simply passes the size of the type Layout
to krealloc(), and in theory the alignment requirement from the type
Layout may be larger than the guarantee provided by SLAB, which means
the allocated object is mis-aligned.

Fix this by adjusting the allocation size to the nearest power of two,
which SLAB always guarantees a size-aligned allocation. And because Rust
guarantees that the original size must be a multiple of alignment and
the alignment must be a power of two, then the alignment requirement is
satisfied.

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.
