[PATCH] slab: respect architecture and caller mandated alignment

As explained by Heiko, on s390 (32-bit) ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN is set to
eight because their common I/O layer allocates data structures that need to
have an eight byte alignment.  This does not work when CONFIG_SLAB_DEBUG is
enabled because kmem_cache_create will override alignment to BYTES_PER_WORD
which is four.

So change kmem_cache_create to ensure cache alignment is always at minimum
what the architecture or caller mandates even if slab debugging is enabled.
