commit 9008fe8fad8255edfdbecea32d7eb0485d939d0d upstream.
On m68k, where the minimum alignment of unsigned long is 2 bytes:

The minimal alignment of an integral type may differ from its size, hence is not safe to assume that an arbitrary freeptr_t (which is basically an unsigned long) is always aligned to 4 or 8 bytes.
As nothing seems to require the additional alignment, it is safe to fix this by relaxing the check to the actual minimum alignment of freeptr_t.
