x86/insn: Use get_unaligned() instead of memcpy()
Use get_unaligned() instead of memcpy() to access potentially unaligned memory, which, when accessed through a pointer, leads to undefined behavior. get_unaligned() describes much better what is happening there anyway even if memcpy() does the job. In addition, since perf tool builds with -Werror, it would fire with: util/intel-pt-decoder/../../../arch/x86/lib/insn.c: In function '__insn_get_emulate_prefix': tools/include/../include/asm-generic/unaligned.h:10:15: error: packed attribute is unnecessary [-Werror=packed] 10 | const struct { type x; } __packed *__pptr = (typeof(__pptr))(ptr); \ because -Werror=packed would complain if the packed attribute would have no effect on the layout of the structure. In this case, that is intentional so disable the warning only for that compilation unit. That part is Reported-by: Stephen Rothwell <sfr@canb.auug.org.au> No functional changes.
