bcachefs: omit alignment attribute on big endian struct bkey

Browse source

This is needed for building Rust bindings on big endian architectures
like s390x. Currently this is only done in userspace, but it might
happen in-kernel in the future. When creating a Rust binding for struct
bkey, the "packed" attribute is needed to get a type with the correct
member offsets in the big endian case. However, rustc does not allow
types to have both a "packed" and "align" attribute. Thus, in order to
get a Rust type compatible with the C type, we must omit the "aligned"
attribute in C.

This does not affect the struct's size or member offsets, only its
toplevel alignment, which should be an acceptable impact.

The little endian version can have the "align" attribute because the
"packed" attr is redundant, and rust-bindgen will omit the "packed" attr
when an "align" attr is present and it can do so without changing a
type's layout
