net: rtl8169: Properly align buffers


RX and TX descriptor rings should be aligned to 256 byte boundaries. Use
the DEFINE_ALIGN_BUFFER() macro to define the buffers so that they don't
have to be manually aligned later on. Also make sure that the buffers do
align to cache-line boundaries in case the cache-line is higher than the
256 byte alignment requirements of the NIC.

Also add a warning if the cache-line size is larger than the descriptor
size, because the driver may discard changes to descriptors made by the
hardware when requeuing RX buffers.
