[PATCH] x86/fpu: use _Alignof to avoid UB in TYPE_ALIGN

[YingChi Long]

WG14 N2350 made very clear that it is an UB having type definitions
within "offsetof". This patch changes the implementation of macro
"TYPE_ALIGN" to builtin "_Alignof" to avoid undefined behavior.

I've grepped all source files to find any type definitions within
"offsetof".

  offsetof\(struct .*\{ .*,

This implementation of macro "TYPE_ALIGN" seemes to be the only case of
type definitions within offsetof in the kernel codebase.

GCC builtin __alignof__ has different semantics here. __alignof__() will
in fact return the 'sane' result while structure alignment and
_Alignof() return the ABI required minimum alignment.
