flat: tweak default stack alignment
The recent commit 1f0ce8b3dd667dca7 ("mm: Move ARCH_SLAB_MINALIGN and
ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN to <linux/slab_def.h>") which moved the
ARCH_SLAB_MINALIGN default into the global header inadvertently broke FLAT
for a bunch of systems. Blackfin systems now fail on any FLAT exec with:
Unable to read code+data+bss, errno 14 When your /init is a FLAT binary,
obviously this can be annoying ;).
This stems from the alignment usage in the FLAT loader. The behavior
before was that FLAT would default to ARCH_SLAB_MINALIGN only if it was
defined, and this was only defined by arches when they wanted a larger
alignment value. Otherwise it'd default to pointer alignment. Arguably,
this is kind of hokey that the FLAT is semi-abusing defines it shouldn't.
So let's merge the two alignment requirements so the floor is never 0.
