x86/paravirt: Ensure proper alignment
The entries in the .parainstructions sections are 8 byte aligned and the
corresponding C struct paravirt_patch_site makes the array offset 16
bytes.
Though the pushed entries are only using 12 bytes, __parainstructions_end
is therefore 4 bytes short.
That works by chance because it's only used in a loop:
for (p = start; p < end; p++)
But this falls flat when calculating the number of elements:
n = end - start
That's obviously off by one.
Ensure that the gap is filled and the last entry is occupying 16 bytes.
[ bp: Add the proper struct and section names. ]
