kho: verify deserialization status and fix FDT alignment access

Browse source

During boot, kho_restore_folio() relies on the memory map having been
successfully deserialized.  If deserialization fails or no map is present,
attempting to restore the FDT folio is unsafe.

Update kho_mem_deserialize() to return a boolean indicating success.  Use
this return value in kho_memory_init() to disable KHO if deserialization
fails.  Also, the incoming FDT folio is never used, there is no reason to
restore it.

Additionally, use get_unaligned() to retrieve the memory map pointer from
the FDT.  FDT properties are not guaranteed to be naturally aligned, and
accessing a 64-bit value via a pointer that is only 32-bit aligned can
cause faults.
