perf tools: Avoid unaligned pointer operations

The sample data is 64-bit aligned basically but raw data starts with
32-bit length field and data follows.  In perf_event__synthesize_sample
it treats the sample data as a 64-bit array.  And it needs some trick
to update the raw data properly.

But it seems some compilers are not happy with this and the program dies
siliently.  I found the sample parsing test failed without any messages
on affected systems.

Let's update the code to use a 32-bit pointer directly and make sure the
result is 64-bit aligned again.  No functional changes intended.
