Subject: [PATCH] usb: gadget: uvc: don't pack struct
 uvcg_extension_unit_descriptor

kmemleak reports the baSourceID and bmControls arrays allocated by the
UVC extension-unit configfs attributes as leaked, e.g.:

  BUG: memory leak
  unreferenced object 0xffff888114fee2c0 (size 8):
    __kmalloc_noprof
    uvcg_extension_ba_source_id_store
    configfs_write_iter
    vfs_write
    ksys_write

The arrays are not actually leaked: they are reachable through
xu->desc.baSourceID / xu->desc.bmControls and are freed when the
extension unit is removed.  The problem is that struct
uvcg_extension_unit_descriptor is marked __packed, so these two heap
pointers are stored at unaligned offsets (22 and 31).  kmemleak only
scans memory on pointer-aligned boundaries, so it never sees the
pointers and reports the arrays as unreferenced.

Unlike the UAPI struct uvc_extension_unit_descriptor, this is a purely
in-memory staging structure: baSourceID and bmControls are pointers,
not inline arrays, and the wire descriptor is assembled field by field
in UVC_COPY_XU_DESCRIPTOR().  Nothing relies on the packed layout, so
the __packed attribute is unnecessary and only serves to misalign the
pointers.

Drop __packed so the pointers are naturally aligned and visible to
kmemleak, silencing the false positive.
