LoongArch: Enforce 4-byte align for machine instructions
If no alignment is specified in the assembly file, LoongArch will not
perform forced alignment. When this object file (.o) is linked into an
executable, instructions may not be 4-byte aligned, which will
eventually cause instruction fetch errors.
For example, the above issue can occur when generating a shared object
file (.so) with the -nostdlib option.
