  [WTF] Avoid dereferencing pointer to unaligned ChunkType
https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=314529

Reviewed by Yusuke Suzuki.

Despite this loop is only applied for CPUs not requiring aligned access,
dereferencing const ChunkType* causes the compiler to assume the address
is naturally aligned for ChunkType and make optimizations based on this
assumption.  For example, with GCC 16 and -mavx, the loop is optimized
to use a 256-bit vmovdqa after handling 0-3 64-bit scalars, causing a
segfault.
