netfilter: nf_tables: Align nft_expr private data to 64-bit
Invoking the following commands on a 32-bit architecture with strict
alignment requirements (such as an ARMv7-based Raspberry Pi) results
in an alignment exception:
# nft add table ip test-ip4
# nft add chain ip test-ip4 output { type filter hook output priority 0; }
# nft add rule ip test-ip4 output quota 1025 bytes
Alignment trap: not handling instruction e1b26f9f at [<7f4473f8>]
Unhandled fault: alignment exception (0x001) at 0xb832e824
Internal error: : 1 [#1] PREEMPT SMP ARM
Hardware name: BCM2835

[<8071ce3c>] (__sys_sendmsg)
[<8071ce94>] (sys_sendmsg)
The reason is that nft_quota_do_init() calls atomic64_set() on an
atomic64_t which is only aligned to 32-bit, not 64-bit, because it
succeeds struct nft_expr in memory which only contains a 32-bit pointer.
Fix by aligning the nft_expr private data to 64-bit.
