Subject: [PATCH] staging: lustre: fix structure size for ARM OABI

When building the kernel for the ARM architecture without setting
CONFIG_AEABI, size of struct lov_user_md_v3 and struct lov_mds_md_v3
differs, due to different alignment requirements of OABI and EABI.

Marking the anonymous union within struct lov_user_md_v3 as
'_packed' solves this issue. Otherwise we get the following
error:

drivers/staging/lustre/lustre/lov/lov_pack.c:352:2: note: in expansion
of macro ‘BUILD_BUG_ON’
  BUILD_BUG_ON(sizeof(lum) != sizeof(struct lov_mds_md_v3));
