[PATCH] rust: allocator: Prevents mis-aligned allocation

[Boqun Feng]

Currently the KernelAllocator simply passes the size of the type Layout
to krealloc(), and in theory the alignment requirement from the type
Layout may be larger than the guarantee provided by SLAB, which means
the allocated object is mis-aligned.

Fixes this by adjusting the allocation size to the nearest power of two,
which SLAB always guarantees a size-aligned allocation. And because Rust
guarantees that original size must be a multiple of alignment and the
alignment must be a power of two, then the alignment requirement is
satisfied.

Some more explanation:

* Layout is a data structure describing a particular memory layout,
  conceptionally it has two fields: align and size.

  * align is guaranteed to be a power of two.
  * size can be smaller than align (only when the Layout is created via
    Layout::from_align_size())
  * After pad_to_align(), the size is guaranteed to be a multiple of
    align
