init/main: read bootconfig header with get_unaligned_le32()
get_boot_config_from_initrd() scans up to 3 bytes before initrd_end to handle GRUB 4-byte alignment. As a result, the bootconfig header immediately preceding the magic may be unaligned. Read the size and checksum fields with get_unaligned_le32() instead of casting to u32 * and using le32_to_cpu(), avoiding potential unaligned access and silencing sparse "cast to restricted __le32" warnings. Sparse warnings (gcc + C=1): init/main.c:292:16: warning: cast to restricted __le32 init/main.c:293:16: warning: cast to restricted __le32 No functional change intended.
