ixgbe: fix unaligned u32 access in ixgbe_update_flash_X550()

ixgbe_host_interface_command() treats its buffer as a u32 array. The
local buffer we pass in was a union of byte-sized fields, which gives
it 1-byte alignment on the stack. On strict-align architectures this
can cause unaligned 32-bit accesses.

Add a u32 member to union ixgbe_hic_hdr2 so the object is 4-byte
aligned, and pass the u32 member when calling
ixgbe_host_interface_command().

No functional change on x86; prevents unaligned accesses on
architectures that enforce natural alignment.
