riscv: uaccess: fix __put_user_nocheck for unaligned accesses

The type of the value to write should be determined by the size of the
destination, not by the value itself, which may be a constant. This
aligns the behavior with x86_64, where __typeof__(*(__gu_ptr)) is used
to infer the correct type.

This fixes an issue in put_cmsg, which was only writing 4 out of 8
bytes to the cmsg_len field, causing the glibc tst-socket-timestamp test
to fail.

Fixes: ca1a66cdd685 ("riscv: uaccess: do not do misaligned accesses in get/put_user()")
