Compile with -Werror and -Wcast-align:

lib/netdev-offload-dpdk.c:578:30: error: cast increases required alignment
    of target type [-Werror=cast-align]
  578 |    ipv6_format_addr((struct in6_addr *) &set_ipv6->ipv6_addr, s);
      |                     ^

Fix it.

Fixes: b6207b1d2711 ("netdev-offload-dpdk: Support offload of set IPv6 actions.")

Build assertions are not reliable, because we also need to know the
alignment of the memory chunk that contains the structure.  It's
not a problem in a current code, because the structure seems to be
directly allocated with malloc, hence has a good alignment, but it
might become a problem, if the field will be part of another array
or a structure.

Since it's not a performance critical code, I'd suggest to just
memcpy() it the same way as we already do in the dump_vxlan_encap().
It will also be much more readable.

Best regards, Ilya Maximets.
