init/main: read bootconfig header with get_unaligned_le32()

get_boot_config_from_initrd() scans up to 3 bytes before initrd_end to
handle GRUB 4-byte alignment.  As a result, the bootconfig header
immediately preceding the magic may be unaligned.

Read the size and checksum fields with get_unaligned_le32() instead of
casting to u32 * and using le32_to_cpu(), avoiding potential unaligned
access and silencing sparse "cast to restricted __le32" warnings.

Sparse warnings (gcc + C=1):
  init/main.c:292:16: warning: cast to restricted __le32
  init/main.c:293:16: warning: cast to restricted __le32

No functional change intended.
