Description

maligned::align_first causes incorrect deallocation

maligned::align_first manually allocates with an alignment larger than T, and then uses Vec::from_raw_parts on that allocation to get a Vec<T>.

[GlobalAlloc::dealloc](https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/alloc/trait.GlobalAlloc.html#tymethod.dealloc) requires that the layout argument must be the same layout that was used to allocate that block of memory.

When deallocating, Box and Vec may not respect the specified alignment and can cause undefined behavior.
