lib: uuid: alignment error in gen_rand_uuid()
Packed structures like struct uuid are not aligned. GCC 9.1 therefore throws an error when trying to compile gen_rand_uuid(). lib/uuid.c: In function ‘gen_rand_uuid’: lib/uuid.c:244:2: error: converting a packed ‘struct uuid’ pointer (alignment 1) to a ‘unsigned int’ pointer (alignment 4) may result in an unaligned pointer value [-Werror=address-of-packed-member] 244 | unsigned int *ptr = (unsigned int *)&uuid; | ^~~~~~~~ Generate the uuid in a properly aligned buffer. The byte order of a random number should not matter. Do not call cpu_to_be32() to change the byte order.
