packing.h uses ARRAY_SIZE(), BUILD_BUG_ON_MSG(), min(), max(), and
sizeof_field() without including the headers where they are defined,
potentially causing build failures.

Fix this in packing.h and sort the result.

I assume this patch is not necessary for stable kernels, I haven't
noticed any build breakage report in the packing integrations thus far.

Netdev maintainers, can you pick this patch up via net-next? All past
contributions to packing went through networking. Let me see if I can
revive it in patchwork.

pw-bot: under-review

Nathan, if netdev maintainers don't respond within 24 hours, can you
please post a v2 of this patch explicitly targeting the net-next tree,
as per Documentation/process/maintainer-netdev.rst?
