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: 85c2ce9104 ("sched, vmlinux.lds: Increase STRUCT_ALIGNMENT to 64 bytes for GCC-4.9")

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
