drm/i915/gem: Make an alignment check more sensible
What we really want to check is that size of the engines array, i.e. args->size - sizeof(*user) is divisible by the element size, i.e. sizeof(*user->engines) because that's what's required for computing the array length right below the check. However, we're currently not doing this and instead doing a compile-time check that sizeof(*user) is divisible by sizeof(*user->engines) and avoiding the subtraction. As far as I can tell, the only reason for the more confusing pair of checks is to avoid a single subtraction of a constant. The other thing the BUILD_BUG_ON might be trying to implicitly check is that offsetof(user->engines) == sizeof(*user) and we don't have any weird padding throwing us off. However, that's not the check it's doing and it's not even a reliable way to do that check.
