Linux-next fails to boot on ARC due to misaligned __start_kprobe_blacklist. Patch
below fixes it.

Subject: [PATCH] kprobes: Ensure blacklist data is aligned

ARC Linux (not supporting native unaligned access) was failing to boot
because __start_kprobe_blacklist was not aligned.

This was because per generated vmlinux.lds it was emitted right next
to .rodata with strings etc hence could be randomly unaligned.

Fix that by ensuring a word alignment. While 4 would suffice for 32bit
arches and problem at hand, it is probably better to put 8.
