x86/insn: Use get_unaligned() instead of memcpy()

Use get_unaligned() instead of memcpy() to access potentially unaligned
memory, which, when accessed through a pointer, leads to undefined
behavior. get_unaligned() describes much better what is happening there
anyway even if memcpy() does the job.

In addition, since perf tool builds with -Werror, it would fire with:

  util/intel-pt-decoder/../../../arch/x86/lib/insn.c: In function '__insn_get_emulate_prefix':
  tools/include/../include/asm-generic/unaligned.h:10:15: error: packed attribute is unnecessary [-Werror=packed]
     10 |  const struct { type x; } __packed *__pptr = (typeof(__pptr))(ptr); \

because -Werror=packed would complain if the packed attribute would have
no effect on the layout of the structure.

In this case, that is intentional so disable the warning only for that
compilation unit.

No functional changes.
