Subject: [PATCH v1] bonding,llc: Fix structure sizeof incompatibility for some PDUs

With some combinations of arch/compiler (e.g. arm-linux-gcc) the sizeof 
operator on structure returns value greater than expected. In cases when the 
structure is used for mapping PDU fields it may lead to unexpected results 
(such as holes and alignment problems in skb data). __packed prevents this 
undesired behavior.

v1: use __packed macro instead of __attribute__((packed))
