The unpacked union within a packed struct generates alignment warnings
on clang for 32-bit ARM:
./usr/include/linux/hyperv.h:361:2: error: field within 'struct hv_kvp_exchg_msg_value'
is less aligned than 'union hv_kvp_exchg_msg_value::(anonymous at ./usr/include/linux/hyperv.h:361:2)'
and is usually due to 'struct hv_kvp_exchg_msg_value' being packed,
which can lead to unaligned accesses [-Werror,-Wunaligned-access]
361 | union {
| ^
With the recent changes to compile-test the UAPI headers in more cases,
this warning in combination with CONFIG_WERROR breaks the build.
Fix the warning.
