parisc: Avoid crash due to unaligned access in unwinder
Guenter Roeck reported this kernel crash on his emulated B160L machine:

While creating the stack trace, the unwinder uses the stack pointer to guess the previous frame to read the previous stack pointer from memory. The crash happens, because the unwinder tries to read from unaligned memory and as such triggers the unalignment trap handler which then leads to the spinlock recursion and finally to a deadlock.
Fix it by checking the alignment before accessing the memory.
