Subject[PATCH 2/5] slab: remove unused align parameter from alloc_percpu
From
Date

__alloc_percpu and alloc_percpu both take an 'align' argument which is
completely ignored. snmp6_mib_init() in net/ipv6/af_inet6.c attempts to
use it, but it will be ignored. Therefore, remove the 'align' argument
and fixup the lone caller.
