[PATCH] fix mac_computer

The mac_compute() function in openssh calls umac_final() to prepend a tag
to a buffer. Umac_final() calls pdf_gen_xor() on the tag as its final
operation, and as implemented, pdf_gen_xor() assumes an appropriate
alignment for 64-bit operations on its buffer. However, the buffer
is declared in mac_compute() as a static u_char array, and the linker
doesn't guarantee 64-bit alignment for such arrays. On ARM v7 NEON
platforms with gcc, 64-bit values must be 64-bit aligned, and the
unaligned buffer declaration caused alignment faults when executing
certain openssh tests.
Force the buffer in mac_compute() to be 64-bit aligned.
