ath9k_hw: optimize all descriptor access functions
Because all of the descriptor data structures are marked as __packed, GCC
assumes the worst case wrt. alignment and generates unaligned load/store
instructions on MIPS for access to all fields.
Since descriptors always have to be 4-byte-aligned, we can just mark the
data structures with __aligned(4), which allows GCC to generate much more
efficient code.
Verified through disassembly and OProfile comparisons.
