struct bpf_plt contains a u64 'target' field, but the struct itself is
often placed at 4-byte aligned offsets in the BPF JIT buffer. This
causes UBSAN to report misaligned-access warnings when dereferencing the
structure.
To pacify UBSAN and signal the compiler about the layout without
over-aligning the entire JIT buffer allocation, mark struct bpf_plt as
__packed.
No functional change intended.
