6.18-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Helge Deller <deller@kernel.org>

[ Upstream commit 6fc367bfd4c8886e6b1742aabbd1c0bdc310db3a ]

Source blob may come from userspace and might be unaligned.
Try to optize the copying process by avoiding unaligned memory accesses.

- Added Fixes tag
- Added "Fix &" to description as this doesn't just optimize but fixes
        a potential unaligned memory access
Fixes: e6e8bf418850d ("apparmor: fix restricted endian type warnings for dfa unpack")

[jj: remove duplicate word "convert" in comment trigger checkpatch warning]
