Subject: [PATCH] lib/ubsan: default UBSAN_ALIGNMENT to not set

When booting an allmodconfig kernel, there are a lot of false-positives.
With a message like this 'UBSAN: Undefined behaviour in...' with a call
trace that follows.

Reworked so that when building a allmodconfig kernel that turns
everything into '=m' or '=y' will turn off UBSAN_ALIGNMENT.
