[PATCH v3 2/5] powerpc/code-patching: Add data patch alignment check

[Benjamin Gray]

The new data patching still needs to be aligned within a
cacheline too for the flushes to work correctly. To simplify
this requirement, we just say data patches must be aligned.

Detect when data patching is not aligned, returning an invalid
argument error.
