Subject: [PATCH net-next v4 13/19] xsk: align &xdp_buff_xsk harder

After the series "XSk buff on a diet" by Maciej, the greatest pow-2
which &xdp_buff_xsk can be divided got reduced from 16 to 8 on x86_64.
Also, sizeof(xdp_buff_xsk) now is 120 bytes, which, taking the previous
sentence into account, leads to that it leaves 8 bytes at the end of
cacheline, which means an array of buffs will have its elements
messed between the cachelines chaotically.
Use __aligned_largest for this struct. This alignment is usually 16
bytes, which makes it fill two full cachelines and align an array
nicely. ___cacheline_aligned may be excessive here, especially on
arches with 128-256 byte CLs, as well as 32-bit arches (76 -> 96
bytes on MIPS32R2), while not doing better than _largest.
