mm, slab: initialize object alignment on cache creation

Since commit 45906855

 ("mm/sl[aou]b: Common alignment code"), the
"ralign" automatic variable in __kmem_cache_create() may be used as
uninitialized.

The proper alignment defaults to BYTES_PER_WORD and can be overridden by
SLAB_RED_ZONE or the alignment specified by the caller.

This fixes https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=85031
