edac: Do alignment logic properly in edac_align_ptr()

The logic was checking the sizeof the structure being allocated to
determine whether an alignment fixup was required.  This isn't right;
what we actually care about is the alignment of the actual pointer that's
about to be returned.  This became an issue recently because struct
edac_mc_layer has a size that is not zero modulo eight, so we were
taking the correctly-aligned pointer and forcing it to be misaligned.
On Tile this caused an alignment exception.
