include/linux/unaligned: pack the whole struct rather than just the field 

The current packed struct implementation of unaligned access adds the
packed attribute only to the field within the unaligned struct rather than
to the struct as a whole.  This is not sufficient to enforce proper
behaviour on architectures with a default struct alignment of more than
one byte.

For example, the current implementation of __get_unaligned_cpu16 when
compiled for arm with gcc -O1 -mstructure-size-boundary=32 assumes the
struct is on a 4 byte boundary so performs the load of the 16bit packed
field as if it were on a 4 byte boundary:

__get_unaligned_cpu16:
        ldrh    r0, [r0, #0]
        bx      lr

Moving the packed attribute to the struct rather than the field causes the
proper unaligned access code to be generated:

__get_unaligned_cpu16:
	ldrb	r3, [r0, #0]	@ zero_extendqisi2
	ldrb	r0, [r0, #1]	@ zero_extendqisi2
	orr	r0, r3, r0, asl #8
	bx	lr
