staging: android: binder: fix alignment issues

The Android userspace aligns the data written to the binder buffers to
4bytes. Thus for 32bit platforms or 64bit platforms running an 32bit
Android userspace we can have a buffer looking like this:

platform    buffer(binder_cmd   pointer)      size
32/32                 32b         32b          8B
64/32                 32b         64b          12B
64/64                 32b         64b          12B

Thus the kernel needs to check that the buffer size is aligned to 4bytes
not to (void *) that will be 8bytes on 64bit machines.

The change does not affect existing 32bit ABI.
