[PATCH] uml: fix UML network driver endianness bugs



ifa->ifa_address and ifa->ifa_mask are defined as __u32, but used as if they
were char[4].

Network code uses htons() to convert it.  So UML's method to access these
fields is wrong for bigendians (e.g.  s390)

I replaced bytewise copying by memcpy(), maybe even that might be removed, if
ifa->ifa_address/mask may be used immediately.
