ARM: 9179/1: uaccess: avoid alignment faults in copy_[from|to]_kernel_nofault
The helpers that are used to implement copy_from_kernel_nofault() and copy_to_kernel_nofault() cast a void* to a pointer to a wider type, which may result in alignment faults on ARM if the compiler decides to use double-word or multiple-word load/store instructions. Only configurations that define CONFIG_HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS=y are affected, given that commit 2423de2e ("ARM: 9115/1: mm/maccess: fix unaligned copy_{from,to}_kernel_nofault") ensures that dst and src are sufficiently aligned otherwise. So use the unaligned accessors for accessing dst and src in cases where they may be misaligned.
