__packed is considered harmful as it potentially generates code that
doesn't perform well and its usage should be avoided as much as
possible.
This patch drops __packed from all SCTP structures except one, which is
sctp_signed_cookie. In there it's required, as per changelog on
commit 9834a2bb4970 ("[SCTP]: Fix sctp_cookie alignment in the packet.").
After this patch, no alignment changes neither in x86 or x86_64 and
no exceptions were noticed during testing on both archs.
Code size for SCTP module also didn't change with this patch.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
