[U-Boot] [PATCH V2 2/8] common.h: Introduce DEFINE_CACHE_ALIGN_BUFFER

[Ilya Yanok]

From: Marek Vasut <marex at denx.de>

This is the out-of-function-scope counterpart of
ALLOC_CACHE_ALIGN_BUFFER.

[ilya.yanok]: added missing <linux/compiler.h> include and
{DEFINE,ALLOC}_ALIGN_BUFFER macros allowing explicit alignment
specification.

Changes from Marek's version:
 - added #include <linux/compiler.h> (needed for __aligned())
 - added macros with additional argument to allow explicit alignment
   specification
