Subject: [PATCH v2] bus: mhi: host: Add alignment check for event ring read
 pointer

Though we do check the event ring read pointer by "is_valid_ring_ptr"
to make sure it is in the buffer range, but there is another risk the
pointer may be not aligned.  Since we are expecting event ring elements
are 128 bits(struct mhi_ring_element) aligned, an unaligned read pointer
could lead to multiple issues like DoS or ring buffer memory corruption.

So add a alignment check for event ring read pointer.

Fixes: ec32332df764 ("bus: mhi: core: Sanity check values from remote device before use")

Changes in v2:
- Change the modulus operation to bit-wise & operation as suggested by Jeff.
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20231023-alignment_check-v1-1-2ca5716d5c15@quicinc.com
