Subject: [PATCH 4.4 014/342] tcp: beware of alignments in tcp_get_info()

4.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@...gle.com>

[ Upstream commit ff5d749772018602c47509bdc0093ff72acd82ec ]

With some combinations of user provided flags in netlink command,
it is possible to call tcp_get_info() with a buffer that is not 8-bytes
aligned.

It does matter on some arches, so we need to use put_unaligned() to
store the u64 fields.

Current iproute2 package does not trigger this particular issue.

Fixes: 0df48c26d841 ("tcp: add tcpi_bytes_acked to tcp_info")
Fixes: 977cb0ecf82e ("tcp: add pacing_rate information into tcp_info")
