Subject: [PATCH v2] ARM: mm: proc-macros: ensure *_tlb_fns are 4B aligned

QEMU 6.1.0 is more correct about trapping on misaligned accesses. A
kernel built with CONFIG_THUMB2_KERNEL=y and using clang as the
assembler could generate non-naturally-aligned v7wbi_tlb_fns which
results in a boot failure. The original commit adding the macro missed
the .align directive on this data.
