As seen on GCC 4.6 Linaro compiler, control_req buffer is not aligned
on 4 byte boundaray causing data aborts in eth_setup -> conf_buf
during dhcp boot over usb_ether. Fix the issue my aligning control_req
buffer using DEFINE_CACHE_ALIGN_BUFFER.

Tested on am335x_evm platform (beaglebone).
Applies on 2013.10-rc1 branch.

Test on sama5d3xek board with RNDIS gadget, it still has the unaligned access issue.

However, I test with this patch "usb: gadget: config: fix unaligned access issues" from: Troy Kisky <troy.ki...@boundarydevices.com> really fix the unaligned access issue.
