Subject: [PATCH net-next 2/2] xfrm: Fix unaligned access in xfrm_notify_sa() for DELSA

On sparc, deleting established SAs (e.g., by restarting ipsec
at the peer) results in unaligned access messages via
xfrm_del_sa -> km_state_notify -> xfrm_send_state_notify().
Use an aligned pointer to xfrm_usersa_info for this case.
