Commit a339671db64b ("vdso: Switch get/put_unaligned() from packed struct
to memcpy()") switched __get_unaligned_t() and __put_unaligned_t() from
using a __packed struct to __builtin_memcpy() to avoid strict aliasing
undefined behavior.

On ARMv5 with GCC, __builtin_memcpy() may not be inlined and instead emit
a much slower out-of-line memcpy() call. Add CONFIG_VDSO_UNALIGNED_PACKED,
enabled on ARMv5 (CPU_32v5), to use the __packed struct implementation on
ARMv5 while keeping __builtin_memcpy() elsewhere.

Fixes: a339671db64b ("vdso: Switch get/put_unaligned() from packed struct to memcpy()")
