memblock: stop using implicit alignment to SMP_CACHE_BYTES

When a memblock allocation APIs are called with align = 0, the alignment
is implicitly set to SMP_CACHE_BYTES.

Implicit alignment is done deep in the memblock allocator and it can
come as a surprise.  Not that such an alignment would be wrong even
when used incorrectly but it is better to be explicit for the sake of
clarity and the prinicple of the least surprise.

Replace all such uses of memblock APIs with the 'align' parameter
explicitly set to SMP_CACHE_BYTES and stop implicit alignment assignment
in the memblock internal allocation functions.

For the case when memblock APIs are used via helper functions, e.g.  like
iommu_arena_new_node() in Alpha, the helper functions were detected with
Coccinelle's help and then manually examined and updated where
appropriate.

The direct memblock APIs users were updated using the semantic patch below:
