flow-dissector: Fix alignment issue in __skb_flow_get_ports
This patch addresses a kernel unaligned access bug seen on a sparc64 system with an igb adapter. Specifically the __skb_flow_get_ports was returning a be32 pointer which was then having the value directly returned. In order to prevent this it is actually easier to simply not populate the ports or address values when an skb is not present. In this case the assumption is that the data isn't needed and rather than slow down the faster aligned accesses by making them have to assume the unaligned path on architectures that don't support efficent unaligned access it makes more sense to simply switch off the bits that were copying the source and destination address/port for the case where we only care about the protocol types and lengths which are normally 16 bit fields anyway.
