Merge branch 'nlattr_align'

Nicolas Dichtel says:

====================
libnl: enhance API to ease 64bit alignment for attribute

Here is a proposal to add more helpers in the libnetlink to manage 64-bit
alignment issues.
Note that this series was only tested on x86 by tweeking
CONFIG_HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS and adding some traces.

The first patch adds helpers for 64bit alignment and other patches
use them.

We could also add helpers for nla_put_u64() and its variants if needed.

v1 -> v2:
 - remove patch #1
 - split patch #2 (now #1 and #2)
 - add nla_need_padding_for_64bit()
====================
