Most of the WARN_ON or BUG_ON sections are properly aligned on
x86. However on ARM and on x86 assembler the macros don't include
any aligment information - hence they end up being the default
byte granularity.

On ARM32 it is paramount that the aligment is word-size (4)
otherwise if one tries to use (uint32_t*) access (such
as livepatch ELF relocations) we get a Data Abort.

Enforcing bug_frames to have the proper aligment across all
architectures and in both C and x86 makes them all the same.

Furthermore on x86 the bloat-o-meter detects that with this
change:

add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 0/0 up/down: 0/0 (0)
function                                     old     new   delta

On ARM32:
add/remove: 1/0 grow/shrink: 0/1 up/down: 384/-288 (96)
function                                     old     new   delta
gnttab_unpopulate_status_frames                -     384    +384
do_grant_table_op                          10808   10520    -288

And ARM64:
add/remove: 1/2 grow/shrink: 0/1 up/down: 4164/-4236 (-72)
function                                     old     new   delta
gnttab_map_grant_ref                           -    4164   +4164
do_grant_table_op                           9892    9836     -56
grant_map_exists                             300       -    -300
__gnttab_map_grant_ref                      3880       -   -3880

v3: First submission. Replaces the "livepatch/elf: Adjust section aligment to word"
    patch.
v4: Remove the .ALIGN(4) in xen.lds.S for x86 (the only place needing
    that change).
    Update the commit description with correct x86 results
    Remove the . = ALIGN(4); in linker filer on x86 [the only file needing the change]
