xen: Check the alignment of the offset pased via VCPUOP_register_vcpu_info

Currently a guest is able to register any guest physical address to use
for the vcpu_info structure as long as the structure can fits in the
rest of the frame.

This means a guest can provide an address that is not aligned to the
natural alignment of the structure.

On Arm 32-bit, unaligned access are completely forbidden by the
hypervisor. This will result to a data abort which is fatal.

On Arm 64-bit, unaligned access are only forbidden when used for atomic
access. As the structure contains fields (such as evtchn_pending_self)
that are updated using atomic operations, any unaligned access will be
fatal as well.

While the misalignment is only fatal on Arm, a generic check is added
as an x86 guest shouldn't sensibly pass an unaligned address (this
would result to a split lock).

This is XSA-327.
