Subject: [PATCH] rust: alloc: satisfy `aligned_alloc` requirements

The implementation added in commit dd09538fb409 ("rust: alloc: implement
`Cmalloc` in module allocator_test") did not honor the documented
requirements of `aligned_alloc`. These requirements may not be enforced
on all system, but they are on macOS. Ensure that alignment is at least
`sizeof(void *)` and round size up to the nearest multiple of that
value.

Fixes: dd09538fb409 ("rust: alloc: implement `Cmalloc` in module allocator_test")
