[PATCH] fix UFS superblock alignment issues

[Eric Sandeen]

ufs2 fails to mount on x86_64, claiming bad magic.  This is because 
ufs_super_block_third's fs_un1 member is padded out by 4 bytes for
8-byte alignment, pushing down the rest of the struct.

Forcing this to be packed solves it.  I took a quick look over
other on-disk structures and didn't immediately find other problems.
I was able to mount & ls a populated ufs2 filesystem w/ this change.

Thanks,
-Eric
