This PR fixes the issue #634, which is brought by #592 .
If we want to use 16-bytes vectorized read/write, we need to confirm the address is aligned to 16 bytes.
When
num_warpsis not a multiple of 4 (4*sizeof(float) = 16), the address ofsmem + num_warpsmight not align to 16 bytes.We can fix this by shifting the start offset of vectorized read/write to
smem + ceil_div(num_warps, 4) * 4to force the alignment.cc @ovowei @Abatom
