After enable kcsan on arm64+linux-5.15,it reports alignment_fault
when access unaligned address.
Here is the oops log:

After checking linux 6.3-rc1 on QEMU arm64,it still has the possibility
to read unaligned address in read_instrumented_memory(qemu can not
emulate alignment fault)

To fix alignment fault and read the value of instrumented memory
more effective,bypass the unaligned access in read_instrumented_memory.
