[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2] aesni_mb: strict-aliasing rule compilation fix

[Declan Doherty <declan.doherty@intel.com>]

Fixes: 924e84f87306 ("aesni_mb: add driver for multi buffer based crypto")

When compiling the AESNI_MB PMD with GCC 4.4.7 on Centos 6.7 a "dereferencing
pointer ‘obj_p’ does break strict-aliasing rules" warning occurs in the
get_session() function.
