x86: re-add stack alignment check Commit 279840d5ea ("x86/boot: install trap handlers much earlier on boot"), perhaps not really intentionally, removed this check. Add it back, - preventing it to trigger before any output is set up, - accompanying it with a (weaker, due to its open coding of what get_stack_bottom() does) build time check.
