slob: improved alignment handling

Remove the core slob allocator's minimum alignment restrictions, and instead
introduce the alignment restrictions at the slab API layer.  This lets us heed
the ARCH_KMALLOC/SLAB_MINALIGN directives, and also use __alignof__ (unsigned
long) for the default alignment (which should allow relaxed alignment
architectures to take better advantage of SLOB's small minimum alignment).
