LU-1665 libcfs: alignment of hsb_head[0] can be suboptimal
On ia64, hsb_head[0] of struct cfs_hash_bucket could be aligned to a
4-byte boundary. However, after allocating the hash bucket and
casting, the first member of the struct pointed to by hsb_head[0]
might prefer an 8-byte alignment. This causes a constant stream
of unaligned access warnings from the kernel.
For other cpus this might waste some small amount of space, but
potentially produces more natural alignments (8 byte objects on 8
byte boundaries).
