examples/l3fwd: fix crash with unaligned L2 header

l3fwd app expects PMDs to return packets whose L2 header is
16-byte aligned due to usage of _mm_load_si128()/_mm_store_si128()
intrinsics in the app. However, most of the protocol stacks expects
packets such that its IP/L3 header be aligned on a 16-byte boundary.

Based on the recommendations received on dpdk-dev, we are changing
the l3fwd app to use _mm_loadu_si128()/_mm_loadu_si128() so that the
address need not be 16-byte aligned and thereby preventing crash.
We have tested that there is no performance impact due to this
change.
