    sched: Remove relyance on STRUCT_ALIGNMENT · 43c31ac0
    Peter Zijlstra authored
    Florian reported that all of kernel/sched/ is rebuild when
    CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRD is changed, which, while not a bug is
    unexpected. This is due to us including vmlinux.lds.h.
    
    Jakub explained that the problem is that we put the alignment
    requirement on the type instead of on a variable. Type alignment is a
    minimum, the compiler is free to pick any larger alignment for a
    specific instance of the type (eg. the variable).
    
    So force the type alignment on all individual variable definitions and
    remove the undesired dependency on vmlinux.lds.h.
    
    Fixes: 85c2ce91
