The vxlan header may not be aligned to 4 bytes in
vxlan_build_skb (e.g., for MLD packets). This patch
avoids unaligned access traps from vxlan_build_skb
(in platforms like sparc) by making struct vxlanhdr __packed.

Performance wise this should only affect code generation for archs where
it matters anyway.
