[PATCH] varasm: Propagate litpool decl alignment to generated RTX.

When pushing a value into the literal pool the resulting decl might
get a higher alignment than the original expression depending on how a
target defines CONSTANT_ALIGNMENT.  Generating an RTX for the constant
pool access we currently use the alignment from the original
expression.  Changed with the attached patch.

This fixes a GCC 6 regression for S/390.  For arrays of string
constants as in the attached testcase encode_section_info is not able
to figure out that the constant pool slot is already properly aligned
since the mem_align field in the rtx is not set properly.

Another question is why (at the end of build_constant_desc) we invoke
the encode_section_info hook with the original expression instead of
the newly generated var_decl?  I think the hook is supposed to be
invoked with a decl?!

  /* Set flags or add text to the name to record information, such as
     that it is a local symbol.  If the name is changed, the macro
     ASM_OUTPUT_LABELREF will have to know how to strip this
     information.  This call might invalidate our local variable
     SYMBOL; we can't use it afterward.  */
  targetm.encode_section_info (exp, rtl, true);

  desc->rtl = rtl;

  return desc;
}

Bootstrapped and regtested on x86_64 and s390x.

No regressions.

Ok?
