rtos: handle STKALIGN adjustments on cortex m
In the case that the STKALIGN bit is set on Cortex M processors, on entry to an exception - the processor can store an additional 4 bytes of padding before regular stacking to achieve 8-byte alignment on exception entry. In the case that this padding is present, the processor will set bit (1 << 9) in the stacked xPSR register. Use the new calculate_process_stack callback to take into account the xPSR register and use it on the standard Cortex_M3 stacking. Note: Change #2301 had some misinformation regarding the padding. On Cortex-M the padding is stored BEFORE stacking so xPSR is always available at a fixed offset. Tested on a Cortex-M0+ (Atmel SAMR21) board which has STKALIGN fixed to a '1' such that this alignment always occurs on non-aligned stacks. Behavior of xPSR verified via the (bad-sorry) assembly program below by setting a breakpoint on the SVC_Handler symbol. The first time SVC_Handler is triggered the stack was 0x20000ff8, the second time SVC_Handler is triggered the stack was 0x20000ffc. Note that in both cases the interrupt handler gets 0x20000fd8 for a stack pointer.
