Vulnerability Title
slab: Fix too strict alignment check in create_cache()
Source: CVE Program / CVE List V5
Vulnerability Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: slab: Fix too strict alignment check in create_cache() On m68k, where the minimum alignment of unsigned long is 2 bytes: Kernel panic - not syncing: __kmem_cache_create_args: Failed to create slab 'io_kiocb'.

As nothing seems to require the additional alignment, it is safe to fix this by relaxing the check to the actual minimum alignment of freeptr_t.
