raid6/test/test.c: bug fix: Specify aligned(alignment) attributes to the char arrays
Specifying the aligned attributes to the char data[NDISKS][PAGE_SIZE], char recovi[PAGE_SIZE] and char recovi[PAGE_SIZE] arrays, so that all malloc memory is page boundary aligned. Without these alignment attributes, the test causes a segfault in userspace when the NDISKS are changed to 4 from 16. The RAID stripes will be page aligned anyway, so we want to test what the kernel actually will execute. Cc: H.
