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)

     3 reporter_comment="This is a sample config file for Freescale e500v2 processors (e.g., MPC8548,
     4 MPC8572). It uses eglibc (for e500/SPE patches) and a recent gcc (4.6.0,
     5 for e500v2 DPFP support) and will generate appropriate dual-precision
     6 floating point instructions by default.

     8 Note: If building a Linux kernel with this toolchain, you will want to make
     9 sure -mno-spe AND -mspe=no are passed to gcc to prevent SPE ABI/instructions
    10 from getting into the kernel (which is currently unsupported). At this time,
    11 the kernel build system properly passes those two options, but older kernels
    12 were only passing -mno-spe by default."
