netfilter: guarantee 8 byte minalign for template addresses
The next change will merge skb->nfct pointer and skb->nfctinfo status bits into single skb->_nfct (unsigned long) area. For this to work nf_conn addresses must always be aligned at least on an 8 byte boundary since we will need the lower 3bits to store nfctinfo. Conntrack templates are allocated via kmalloc. kbuild test robot reported BUILD_BUG_ON failed: NFCT_INFOMASK >= ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN on v1 of this patchset, so not all platforms meet this requirement. Do manual alignment if needed, the alignment offset is stored in the nf_conn entry protocol area. This works because templates are not handed off to L4 protocol trackers.
