Markus Trippelsdorf f210735fe2 headers_install: fix __packed in exported kernel headers
checkpatch.pl warns about using __attribute__((packed)) in kernel
headers: "__packed is preferred over __attribute__((packed))". If one
follows that advice it could cause problems in the exported header
files, because the outside world doesn't know about this shortcut.

For example busybox will fail to compile:
 CC      miscutils/ubi_attach_detach.o
 In file included from miscutils/ubi_attach_detach.c:27:0:
 /usr/include/mtd/ubi-user.h:330:3: error: conflicting types for ‘__packed’
 /usr/include/mtd/ubi-user.h:314:3: note: previous declaration of ‘__packed’ was here
...

Fix the problem by substituting __packed with __attribute__((packed)) in
the header_install.pl script.

# headers_install prepare the listed header files for use in
# user space and copy the files to their destination.
#
# Usage: headers_install.pl readdir installdir arch [files...]
# readdir: dir to open files
# installdir: dir to install the files
# arch: current architecture
# arch is used to force a reinstallation when the arch
# changes because kbuild then detect a command line change.
# files: list of files to check
#
# Step in preparation for users space:
# 1) Drop all use of compiler.h definitions
# 2) Drop include of compiler.h
# 3) Drop all sections defined out by __KERNEL__ (using unifdef)
