Subject: klist: Fix object alignment on 64-bit.


Commit c0e69a5bbc6fc74184aa043aadb9a53bc58f953b ("klist.c: bit 0 in
pointer can't be used as flag") intended to make sure that all klist
objects were at least pointer size aligned, but used the constant "4"
which only works on 32-bit.

Use "sizeof(void *)" which is correct in all cases.
