hung_task: fix warnings caused by unaligned lock pointers

The blocker tracking mechanism assumes that lock pointers are at least
4-byte aligned to use their lower bits for type encoding.

However, as reported by Eero Tamminen, some architectures like m68k
only guarantee 2-byte alignment of 32-bit values. This breaks the
assumption and causes two related WARN_ON_ONCE checks to trigger.

To fix this, the runtime checks are adjusted to silently ignore any lock
that is not 4-byte aligned, effectively disabling the feature in such
cases and avoiding the related warnings.

Thanks to Geert Uytterhoeven for bisecting!
