OK, applied to slab/for-next. Thanks.

Note this is not a hotpath so no need to micro-optimize, but it makes
the code cleaner - no more calculate_alignment() using flags before we
adjust them by kmem_cache_flags(). This currently doesn't matter as it
cares only about SLAB_HWCACHE_ALIGN which is not affected, but will be
more robust in case of future changes.
