Eric Dumazet ff5d749772 tcp: beware of alignments in tcp_get_info() ...

With some combinations of user provided flags in netlink command,
it is possible to call tcp_get_info() with a buffer that is not 8-bytes
aligned.

It does matter on some arches, so we need to use put_unaligned() to
store the u64 fields.

Current iproute2 package does not trigger this particular issue.

Fixes: 0df48c26d8 ("tcp: add tcpi_bytes_acked to tcp_info")
Fixes: 977cb0ecf8 ("tcp: add pacing_rate information into tcp_info")
