lib/ubsan: default UBSAN_ALIGNMENT to not set
When booting an allmodconfig kernel, there are a lot of false-positives. With a message like this 'UBSAN: Undefined behaviour in...' with a call trace that follows. UBSAN warnings are a result of enabling noisy CONFIG_UBSAN_ALIGNMENT which is disabled by default if HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS=y. It's noisy even if don't have efficient unaligned access, e.g. people often add __cacheline_aligned_in_smp in structs, but forget to align allocations of such struct (kmalloc() give 8-byte alignment in worst case). Rework so that when building a allmodconfig kernel that turns everything into '=m' or '=y' will turn off UBSAN_ALIGNMENT.
