net: dst: Force 4-byte alignment of dst_metrics

When storing a pointer to a dst_metrics structure in dst_entry._metrics,
two flags are added in the least significant bits of the pointer value.
Hence this assumes all pointers to dst_metrics structures have at least
4-byte alignment.

However, on m68k, the minimum alignment of 32-bit values is 2 bytes, not
4 bytes.  Hence in some kernel builds, dst_default_metrics may be only
2-byte aligned, leading to obscure boot warnings like:

    WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 7 at lib/refcount.c:28 refcount_warn_saturate+0x44/0x9a
    refcount_t: underflow; use-after-free.

Fix this by forcing 4-byte alignment of all dst_metrics structures.
