btrfs-progs: Fix bus error on sparc
Currently, as of 8cae1840afb3ea44dcc298f32983e577480dfee4 when running btrfs-convert I get a bus error. The problem is that struct btrfs_key has __attribute__ ((__packed__)) so it is not aligned. Then, a pointer to it's objectid field is taken, cast to a void*, then eventually cast back to a u64* and dereferenced. The problem is that the dereferenced u64* is not necessarily aligned (ie, not necessarily a valid u64*), resulting in undefined behavior. This patch adds a local u64 variable which would of course be properly aligned and then uses a pointer to that. I did not modify the call from btrfs_fs_roots_compare_roots as that uses struct btrfs_root which is a regular struct and would thus have it's members correctly aligned to begin with. After patching this I realized Liu Bo had already written a similar patch, but I think mine is cleaner, so I'm sending it anyway.
