kernel/linux: fix packed attribute in exported headers

UBI headers (and maybe others as well) are broken because the 'packed'
attribute is not sanitised when the headers are exported to userspace.

Apply the fix from upstream:
https://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git;a=commitdiff;h=f210735fe2f17a6225432ee3d1239bcf23a8659c

(Also, buildroot does the same, BTW)

     1 Original patch from H.J. Lu, as reported there:

     2 http://www.nabble.com/PATCH:-Use-short-for-fnstsw-td14775171.html

     3 

     4 fnstsw stores 16bit into %ax. The upper 16bit of %eax is unchanged.

     5 The new assembler (binutils-2.18.50.0.4 and up) will disallow "fnstsw %eax".
