[PATCH] ARM: 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.
So use the unaligned accessors where needed: when the type's size > 1
and the input was not aligned already by the caller.
