[release-branch.go1.21] cmd/compile: don't combine loads in generated equality functions

... if the architecture can't do unaligned loads.
We already handle this in a few places, but this particular place
was added in CL 399542 and missed this additional restriction.

Fixes #67164

(Reroll of CL 583303)
