[CRIU] [PATCH v2 2/6] compel: arch, x86 -- Dont require xsave_struct to be aligned

We don't iteract with fpu hardware directly so no need
for alignment. Moreover it will help to handle ia32 mode
where this structure won't be aligned and this is required
by a kernel to process the sigreturn frame.

v2:

Still in fetching this data via ptrace(PTRACE_GETREGSET, NT_X86_XSTATE)
this data should be allocated with 8 byte alignment as kernel
requires.
