Subject: [PATCH v2 3/3] PCI: Force trailing new line to resource_alignment_param in sysfs

When 'pci=resource_alignment=' is specified on the command line, there
is no trailing new line.  Then, when it's read through the corresponding
sysfs attribute, there will be no newline and a cat command will not
show correctly in a shell. If the parameter is set through sysfs
a new line will be stored and it will 'cat' correctly.

To solve this, append a new line character in the show function if
one does not already exist.
