Subject: [PATCH] mm/slob: avoid type warning about alignment value

The types for ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN and ARCH_SLAB_MINALIGN are not always
the same, as seen by building ARM collie_defconfig:

mm/slob.c: In function 'kfree':
mm/slob.c:482:153: warning: comparison of distinct pointer types lacks a cast
mm/slob.c: In function 'ksize':
mm/slob.c:501:153: warning: comparison of distinct pointer types lacks a cast

Using max_t to find the correct alignment avoids the warning.
