Subject: [PATCH v3 1/2] RDS: fix "Kernel unaligned access" on sparc64

Sparc64 expect 64 bit types to be aligned to 8. This patch ensure that
memory allocated by 'rds_page_remainder_alloc' will be aligned to 8.
This patch fix issue found in 'rds_ib_cong_recv' when accessing
unaligned memory using uint64_t pointer.
