[CRYPTO] padlock: Fix alignment fault in aes_crypt_copy

Browse Source 
The previous patch fixed spurious read faults from occuring by copying
the data if we happen to have a single block at the end of a page.  It
appears that gcc cannot guarantee 16-byte alignment in the kernel with
__attribute__.  The following report from Torben Viets shows a buffer
that's only 8-byte aligned:

Since the hardware must have 16-byte alignment, the following patch fixes
this by open coding the alignment adjustment.
