spi: Guarantee cacheline alignment of driver-private data

__spi_alloc_controller() uses a single allocation to accommodate struct
spi_controller and the driver-private data, but places the latter behind
the former.  This order does not guarantee cacheline alignment of the
driver-private data.  (It does guarantee cacheline alignment of struct
spi_controller but the structure doesn't make any use of that property.)

Round up struct spi_controller to cacheline size.  A forthcoming commit
leverages this to grant DMA access to driver-private data of the BCM2835
SPI master.

An alternative, less economical approach would be to use two allocations.

A third approach consists of reversing the order to conserve memory.
But Mark Brown is concerned that it may result in a performance penalty
on architectures that don't like unaligned accesses.
