MIPS: Prevent unaligned accesses during stack unwinding
commit a3552dac upstream. During stack unwinding we call a number of functions to determine what type of instruction we're looking at. The union mips_instruction pointer provided to them may be pointing at a 2 byte, but not 4 byte, aligned address & we thus cannot directly access the 4 byte wide members of the union mips_instruction. To avoid this is_ra_save_ins() copies the required half-words of the microMIPS instruction to a correctly aligned union mips_instruction on the stack, which it can then access safely. The is_jump_ins() & is_sp_move_ins() functions do not correctly perform this temporary copy, and instead attempt to directly dereference 4 byte fields which may be misaligned and lead to an address exception. Fix this by copying the instruction halfwords to a temporary union mips_instruction in get_frame_info() such that we can provide a 4 byte aligned union mips_instruction to the is_*_ins() functions and they do not need to deal with misalignment themselves.
