[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v1] lib/distributor: fix unaligned 128-bit write

When the distributor sample app is built as a 32-bit app,
the data buffer passed to find_match_vec can be unaligned,
causing a segmentation fault due to writing a 128-bit value
using _mm_store_si128().  128-bit align the data being
passed in so this does not happen.
