[PATCH v3 5/6] staging: android: binder: fix alignment issues

[Serban Constantinescu]

The Android userspace aligns the data written to the binder buffers to
4bytes. Thus for 32bit platforms or 64bit platforms running an 32bit
Android userspace we can have a buffer looking like this:

platform    buffer(binder_cmd   pointer)      size
32/32                 32b         32b          8B
64/32                 32b         64b          12B
64/64                 32b         64b          12B

Thus the kernel needs to check that the buffer size is aligned to 4bytes
not to (void *) that will be 8bytes on 64bit machines.

The change does not affect existing 32bit ABI.
