[SPARK-12181] Check Cached unaligned-access capability before using Unsafe ## What changes were proposed in this pull request? For MemoryMode.OFF_HEAP, Unsafe.getInt etc. are used with no restriction. However, the Oracle implementation uses these methods only if the class variable unaligned (commented as "Cached unaligned-access capability") is true, which seems to be calculated whether the architecture is i386, x86, amd64, or x86_64. I think we should perform similar check for the use of Unsafe. ## How was this patch tested?
