The failure initially observed as boot failure on rx3600 ia64 machine
with RAID bus controller: Hewlett-Packard Company Smart Array P600:

    kernel unaligned access to 0xe000000105dd8b95, ip=0xa000000100b87551
    kernel unaligned access to 0xe000000105dd8e95, ip=0xa000000100b87551
    hpsa 0000:14:01.0: Controller reports max supported commands of 0 Using 16 instead. Ensure that firmware is up to date.
    swapper/0[1]: error during unaligned kernel access

Here unaligned access comes from 'struct CommandList' that happens
to be packed. The change f749d8b7a ("scsi: hpsa: Correct dev cmds
outstanding for retried cmds") introduced unexpected padding and
un-aligned atomic_t from natural alignment to something else.

This change removes packing annotation from struct not intended to be
sent to controller as is. This restores natural `atomic_t` alignment.

The change is tested on the same rx3600 machine.
