The octeontx2 hardware needs the buffer to be 128 byte aligned.
But in the current implementation of napi_alloc_frag(), it can't
guarantee the return address is 128 byte aligned even the request size
is a multiple of 128 bytes, so we have to request an extra 128 bytes and
use the PTR_ALIGN() to make sure that the buffer is aligned correctly.
Fixes: 7a36e4918e ("octeontx2-pf: Use the napi_alloc_frag() to alloc the pool buffers")

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.
