[ Upstream commit 534f81a5068799799e264fd162e9488a129f98d4 ]

This patch fixes an unaligned memory access in tcp_sack while reading
sequence numbers from TCP selective acknowledgement options.  Prior to
applying this patch, upstream linux-2.6.27.20 was occasionally
generating messages like this on my sparc64 system:

  [54678.532071] Kernel unaligned access at TPC[6b17d4] tcp_packet+0xcd4/0xd00
