Here is a fix for another warning (now error) found in my MIPS build.

	malloc.c: In function '__posix_memalign':
	malloc.c:4976:50: error: logical not is only applied to the left hand side of comparison [-Werror=logical-not-parentheses]
		|| !powerof2 (alignment / sizeof (void *)) != 0
                                                  ^
	cc1: all warnings being treated as errors


The fix is to remove the '!= 0' comparision since it is redundant.

OK to checkin?

Removing '!= 0' creates a boolean coersion from the int type and we avoid
this in glibc because it is clearer to say exactly what you mean e.g. != 0 or == 0.

Is not the right fix to add a bracket to clarify the `!` is applied to the left
side only e.g. "|| (!powerof2 (alignment / sizeof (void *))) != 0"?

What I said is wrong, I see powerof2 returns a boolean.

OK.

Cheers,

The result of "!" is boolean; no implicit boolean conversion is involved 
(unless you do "!non_boolean", but then you should write "non_boolean == 
0" not "(!non_boolean) != 0").
