Subject: [PATCH 5.10 105/188] virtchnl: Fix layout of RSS structures

From: Norbert Ciosek <norbertx.ciosek@...el.com>

[ Upstream commit 22f8b5df881e9f1302514bbbbbb8649c2051de55 ]

Remove padding from RSS structures. Previous layout
could lead to unwanted compiler optimizations
in loops when iterating over key and lut arrays.

Fixes: 65ece6de0114 ("virtchnl: Add missing explicit padding to structures")
