Allocation function return memory that is properly aligned for most data
types, there is no need to manually align the buffer later.
On 64-bit systems this is particularly wrong as struct sta_info should
be 8-byte aligned so this calculation is guaranteed to misalign the
structure. If the architecture requires aligned access, this leads to
an alignment fault and panic.

At the moment USER_EXTRA_CFLAGS can't override local Makfile EXTRA_CFLAGS
since it's assigned at the beginning of the Makefile. For example it's not
possible to undefine the hardcoded CONFIG_LITTLE_ENDIAN and this doesn't
allow to build these modules for big endian architectures. So let's move
the assignment of USER_EXTRA_CFLAGS to EXTRA_CFLAGS after the last
EXTRA_CFLAGS assignment.

There's no need for a raw spinlock in this driver as it doesn't do
anything in hardirq context on -rt. Some of the critical sections
guarded by these locks are long and contain unbounded loops so there is
a risk of raw spinlocks causing latency spikes on -rt.
The existing code is broken with CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT anyway as only a
subset of the functions that depend on lock type are covered by the
preprocessor #if/#else blocks.
Remove the special-case for CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT.
