malloc: Fix for infinite loop in memalign/posix_memalign.

Browse Source 
A very large alignment argument passed to mealign/posix_memalign
causes _int_memalign to enter an infinite loop. Limit the maximum
alignment value to the maximum representable power of two to
prevent this from happening.

Changelog:

2013-10-30  Will Newton  <will.newton@linaro.org>

	[BZ #16038]
	* malloc/hooks.c (memalign_check): Limit alignment to the
	maximum representable power of two.
	* malloc/malloc.c (__libc_memalign): Likewise.
	* malloc/tst-memalign.c (do_test): Add test for very
	large alignment values.
	* malloc/tst-posix_memalign.c (do_test): Likewise.
