The resource_alignment will releases memory resources allocated
by firmware so that kernel can reassign new resources later on.
But this will cause the problem that no resources can be
allocated by kernel if PCI_PROBE_ONLY was set, e.g. on pSeries
platform because PCI_PROBE_ONLY force kernel to use firmware
setup and not to reassign any resources.
To solve this problem, this patch ignores resource_alignment
if PCI_PROBE_ONLY was set.
