rt2x00: Decrease alignment headroom
We only need 4 bytes of headroom for alignment purposes in the RX frame. It was previously higher for optimization purposes which are no longer possible due to DMA mappings. v2: Fix patch error Signed-off-by: Ivo van Doorn <IvDoorn@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
