[PATCH v3 2/3] eal: only use numbers as align parameters for MSVC

[Andre Muezerie]

After the instruction set updates for MSVC the error below popped up:

..\lib\eal\x86\include\rte_vect.h(82): error C2059: syntax error: '('

The issue is that MSVC does not allow __rte_aligned(RTE_X86_ZMM_SIZE).
It only accepts numbers that are power of 2. So, even though
RTE_X86_ZMM_SIZE represents a number that is a power of two it cannot
be used directly.
