USB: xhci: Remove packed attribute from structures.

The packed attribute allows gcc to muck with the alignment of data
structures, which may lead to byte-wise writes that break atomicity of
writes.  Packed should only be used when the compile may add undesired
padding to the structure.  Each element of the structure will be aligned
by C based on its size and the size of the elements around it.  E.g. a u64
would be aligned on an 8 byte boundary, the next u32 would be aligned on a
four byte boundary, etc.

Since most of the xHCI structures contain only u32 bit values, removing
the packed attribute for them should be harmless.  (A future patch will
change some of the twin 32-bit address fields to one 64-bit field, but all
those places have an even number of 32-bit fields before them, so the
alignment should be correct.)  Add BUILD_BUG_ON statements to check that
the compiler doesn't add padding to the data structures that have a
hardware-defined layout.

While we're modifying the registers, change the name of intr_reg to
xhci_intr_reg to avoid global conflicts.
