In rocker_of_dpa.c we assume that the h_proto field in an eth_header
struct is aligned, and we copy its address into a uint16_t* in the
OfDpaFlowPktFields struct which we then dereference later. This
isn't a safe assumption; it will also result in compilation failures
with gcc if we mark the eth_header struct as QEMU_PACKED because gcc
will not let you take the address of an unaligned struct field.
Make the h_proto field in OfDpaFlowPktFields a void*, and make all
the places where we previously read through that pointer instead use
a new accessor function which allows for the possible lack of
alignment.
(Compare commit 5814c08467
"hw/net/virtio-net.c: Don't assume IP length field is aligned"
which fixed a similar problem elsewhere for an ip_header field.)
