Subject: [RFC 08/12] partitions: msdos: fix one-byte get_unaligned()

From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@...db.de>

A simplification of get_unaligned() clashes with callers that pass
in a character pointer, causing a harmless warning like:

block/partitions/msdos.c: In function 'msdos_partition':
include/asm-generic/unaligned.h:13:22: warning: 'packed' attribute ignored for field of type 'u8' {aka 'unsigned char'} [-Wattributes]

Remove the get_unaligned() call and just use the byte directly.
