common/mlx5: fix aligned malloc
Before this commit system call memalign was used for aligned
allocations, however memalign is deprecated.
Based on (1) - POSIX requires that memory aligned allocations can be
freed using free. Some systems provide no way to reclaim memory
allocated with memalign (because one can only pass to free a pointer
gotten from malloc, while, memalign would call malloc and then align the
obtained value).
Another issue is that 64/32 bits architectures use a minimal alignment
size. So any requested alignment below the minimal system size can be
simplified by calling malloc.
The glibc implementation allows memory obtained from posix_memalign to
be reclaimed with free. This commit replaces system call memalign with
system call posix_memalign. It also calls malloc in case the requested
alignment is below the minimal system size.
