PATCH 1/1 cpu_physical_memory_sync_dirty_bitmap: Fix alignment check

From: Dr. David Alan Gilbert <[email protected]>

This code has an optimised, word aligned version, and a boring unaligned version. Recently 084140bd498909 fixed a missing offset addition from the core of both versions. However, the offset isn't necessarily aligned and thus the choice between the two versions needs fixing up to also include the offset.

Symptom:
A few stuck unsent pages during migration; not normally noticed
unless under very low bandwidth in which case the migration may get stuck never ending and never performing a 2nd sync; noticed by a hanging postcopy-test on a very heavily loaded system.

Nice catch!

"page" can now be moved to the "if", exactly where you've removed the declaration of "word".
