crypto: crypto_xor - use helpers for unaligned accesses
Dereferencing a misaligned pointer is undefined behavior in C, and may result in codegen on architectures such as ARM that trigger alignments traps and expensive fixups in software. Instead, use the get_aligned()/put_aligned() accessors, which are cheap or even completely free when CONFIG_HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS=y. In the converse case, the prior alignment checks ensure that the casts are safe, and so no unaligned accessors are necessary.
