lib/genalloc.c: fix allocation of aligned buffer from non-aligned chunk
gen_pool_alloc_algo() uses different allocation functions implementing different allocation algorithms. With gen_pool_first_fit_align() allocation function, the returned address should be aligned on the requested boundary. If chunk start address isn't aligned on the requested boundary, the returned address isn't aligned too. The only way to get properly aligned address is to initialize the pool with chunks aligned on the requested boundary. If want to have an ability to allocate buffers aligned on different boundaries (for example, 4K, 1MB, ...), the chunk start address should be aligned on the max possible alignment. This happens because gen_pool_first_fit_align() looks for properly aligned memory block without taking into account the chunk start address alignment. To fix this, we provide chunk start address to gen_pool_first_fit_align() and change its implementation such that it starts looking for properly aligned block with appropriate offset (exactly as is done in CMA).
