powerpc/rtas: ensure 4KB alignment for rtas_data_buf

[ Upstream commit 836b5b9fcc8e09cea7e8a59a070349a00e818308 ]

Some RTAS functions that have work area parameters impose alignment
requirements on the work area passed to them by the OS. Examples
include:

- ibm,configure-connector
- ibm,update-nodes
- ibm,update-properties

4KB is the greatest alignment required by PAPR for such
buffers. rtas_data_buf used to have a __page_aligned attribute in the
arch/ppc64 days, but that was changed to __cacheline_aligned for
unknown reasons by commit dbb3d2cc0533 ("powerpc: Merge rtas.c into
arch/powerpc/kernel"). That works out to 128-byte alignment
on ppc64, which isn't right.

This was found by inspection and I'm not aware of any real problems
caused by this. Either current RTAS implementations don't enforce the
alignment constraints, or rtas_data_buf is always being placed at a
4KB boundary by accident (or both, perhaps).

Use __aligned(SZ_4K) to ensure the rtas_data_buf has alignment
appropriate for all users.
