[PATCH v5 2/4] vdso: Switch get/put unaligned from packed struct to memcpy

[Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com>]

Type punning is necessary for get/put unaligned but the use of a
packed struct violates strict aliasing rules, requiring
-fno-strict-aliasing to be passed to the C compiler. Switch to using
memcpy so that -fno-strict-aliasing isn't necessary.
