[patch 7/13] s390: fix slab debugging.

With CONFIG_SLAB_DEBUG=y networking over qeth doesn't work. The
problem is that the qib structure embedded in the qeth_irq
structure needs an alignment of 256 but kmalloc only guarantees
an alignment of 8. When using SLAB debugging the alignment of
qeth_irq is not sufficient for the embedded qib structure which
causes all users of qdio (qeth and zfcp) to stop working.
Allocate qeth_irq structure with __get_free_page. That wastes
a small amount of memory (~2500 bytes) per online adapter.
