[ovs-dev] [PATCH] unaligned: Make get_unaligned_be64() compatible on GCC and non-GCC.

Until now, with GCC, get_unaligned_be64() had an interface that accepted
a "ovs_be64 *", and with other compilers its accepted any
pointer-to-64-bit type, but not void *.  This commit fixes the problem,
making the interface the same in both cases.

This fixes a build error on MSVC:

    lib/nx-match.c(320) : error C2100: illegal indirection
    lib/nx-match.c(320) : error C2034: 'build_assert_failed' : type of bit
        field too small for number of bits
    lib/nx-match.c(320) : error C2296: '%' : illegal, left operand has
        type 'void *'
    lib/nx-match.c(320) : error C2198: 'ntohll' : too few arguments for call

It might appear that this patch changes get_unaligned_u64() but in fact
it onloy moves it earlier in the file (since it is now called from the
non-GCC fork of the #if).
