vhost-user: fix misaligned access to payload
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
We currently take a pointer to a misaligned field of a packed structure.
clang reports this as a build warning.
A fix is to keep payload in a separate structure, and access is it
from there using a vectored write.
