[ Upstream commit 7838b4656110d950afdd92a081cc0f33e23e0ea8 ]
In commit 19416123ab3e ("block: define 'struct bvec_iter' as packed"), what we need is to save the 4byte padding, and avoid `bio` to spread on one extra cache line.
It is enough to define it as '__packed __aligned(4)', as '__packed' alone means byte aligned, and can cause compiler to generate horrible code on architectures that don't support unaligned access in case that bvec_iter is embedded in other structures.
