Ping-Ke Shih ed1e31d784 wifi: mac80211: add __packed to union members of struct ieee80211_rx_status
The arm-linux-gnueabi-gcc compiler, align the field followed by union
members, causing size of struct ieee80211_rx_status over skb->cb
(48 bytes). By investigation, the union member starts at offset 32,
and the offset of next field rate_idx is 36 instead of expected 33, and
the total size is (unexpected) 52.

When compiling rtw88 driver, it throws:

After this patch, the size of struct ieee80211_rx_status is 48.
