libata: Align ata_device's id on a cacheline
The id buffer in ata_device is a DMA target, but it isn't explicitly cacheline aligned. Due to this, adjacent fields can be overwritten with stale data from memory on non coherent architectures. As a result, the kernel is sometimes unable to communicate with an ATA device. Fix this by ensuring that the id buffer is cacheline aligned. This issue is similar to that fixed by Commit 84bda12af31f ("libata: align ap->sector_buf").
