[BRIDGE]: Unaligned access when comparing ethernet addresses
compare_ether_addr() implicitly requires that the addresses
passed are 2-bytes aligned in memory.
This is not true for br_stp_change_bridge_id() and
br_stp_recalculate_bridge_id() in which one of the addresses
is unsigned char *, and thus may not be 2-bytes aligned.
