commit eff9704f5332a13b08fbdbe0f84059c9e7051d5f upstream.

Though we do check the event ring read pointer by "is_valid_ring_ptr"
to make sure it is in the buffer range, but there is another risk the
pointer may be not aligned.  Since we are expecting event ring elements
are 128 bits(struct mhi_ring_element) aligned, an unaligned read pointer
could lead to multiple issues like DoS or ring buffer memory corruption.

So add a alignment check for event ring read pointer.

Fixes: ec32332df764 ("bus: mhi: core: Sanity check values from remote device before use")
