Alignment error and possible read past float storage in stackValueCollection.cpp on sparcv9

    Description

      src/share/vm/runtime/stackValueCollection.cpp

      Has code that looks like:

         86 void StackValueCollection::set_float_at(int slot, jfloat value) {
         87 at(slot)->set_int(*(intptr_t*)(&value));
         88 }

      The &value is a float*, and can be aligned on any 32 bit boundary, it points to a 32bit float.
      Casting to a intptr_t* which is a long* on sparcv9, then dereferencing it means that we run the
      risk of a SIGBUS when compiled with -xmemalign=8s, but more importantly we are accessing
      32bits beyond the end of this float object.

      See suggested fix.
