arm64: do not enforce strict 16 byte alignment to stack pointer
copy_thread should not be enforcing 16 byte aligment and returning
-EINVAL. Other architectures trap misaligned stack access with SIGBUS
so arm64 should follow this convention, so remove the strict enforcement
check.
For example, currently clone(2) fails with -EINVAL when passing
a misaligned stack and this gives little clue to what is wrong. Instead,
it is arguable that a SIGBUS on the fist access to a misaligned stack
allows one to figure out that it is a misaligned stack issue rather
than trying to figure out why an unconventional (and undocumented)
-EINVAL is being returned.
