x86/fpu: Use _Alignof to avoid undefined behavior in TYPE_ALIGN

WG14 N2350 specifies that it is an undefined behavior to have type
definitions within offsetof", see

  https://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/docs/n2350.htm

This specification is also part of C23.

Therefore, replace the TYPE_ALIGN macro with the _Alignof builtin to
avoid undefined behavior. (_Alignof itself is C11 and the kernel is
built with -gnu11).

ISO C11 _Alignof is subtly different from the GNU C extension
__alignof__. Latter is the preferred alignment and _Alignof the
minimal alignment. For long long on x86 these are 8 and 4
respectively.

The macro TYPE_ALIGN's behavior matches _Alignof rather than
__alignof__.
