When booting on 32-bit machines (seen on OpenRISC) I saw this warning
with CONFIG_DEBUG_MUTEXES turned on.

I traced this to kernel/locking/mutex.c storing 3 bits of MUTEX_FLAGS in
the task_struct pointer (mutex.owner).  There is a comment saying that
task_structs are always aligned to L1_CACHE_BYTES.  This is not true for
the init_task.

On 64-bit machines this is not a problem because symbol addresses are
naturally aligned to 64-bits providing 3 bits for MUTEX_FLAGS.  Howerver,
for 32-bit machines the symbol address only has 2 bits available.

Fix this by setting init_task alignment to at least L1_CACHE_BYTES.
