printk: Fix alignment of buf causing crash on ARM EABI

Commit 7ff9554bb578ba02166071d2d487b7fc7d860d62, printk: convert
byte-buffer to variable-length record buffer, causes systems using
EABI to crash very early in the boot cycle. The first entry in struct
log is a u64, which for EABI must be 8 byte aligned.

Make use of __alignof__() so the compiler to decide the alignment, but
allow it to be overridden using CONFIG_HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS,
for systems which can perform unaligned access and want to save
a few bytes of space.

Tested on Orion5x and Kirkwood.
