Subject: [PATCH 61/84] netfilter: xtables: make XT_ALIGN() usable in exported headers by exporting __ALIGN_KERNEL()

From: Alexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@...il.com>

XT_ALIGN() was rewritten through ALIGN() by commit 42107f5009da223daa800d6da6904d77297ae829
"netfilter: xtables: symmetric COMPAT_XT_ALIGN definition".
ALIGN() is not exported in userspace headers, which created compile problem for tc(8)
and will create problem for iptables(8).

We can't export generic looking name ALIGN() but we can export less generic
__ALIGN_KERNEL() (suggested by Ben Hutchings).
Google knows nothing about __ALIGN_KERNEL().

COMPAT_XT_ALIGN() changed for symmetry.
