crypto: drbg - Align buffers to at least a cache line

None of the ciphers used by the DRBG have an alignment requirement; thus,
they all return 0 from .crypto_init, resulting in inconsistent alignment
across all buffers.

Align all buffers to at least a cache line to improve performance. This is
especially useful when multiple DRBG instances are used, since it prevents
false sharing of cache lines between the different instances.
