alloc_percpu() already aligns objects as specified when they are declared.

Moreover the function is improperly named since it aligns
to a cacheline(). If you want this then you would use

alloc_percpu_cacheline_aligned()

But then the alignment can already be requested by adding
__cacheline_aligned to the per cpu definition.
