Maybe:
#define __ARCH_COMPAT_FLOCK64_ATTR (packed),(aligned(4)

...
Delete this bit:
> +#ifdef __ARCH_NEED_COMPAT_FLOCK64_PACKED
> +#define __ARCH_COMPAT_FLOCK64_PACK	__attribute__((packed))
> +#else
> +#define __ARCH_COMPAT_FLOCK64_PACK
> +#endif
...

> +	short		l_type;
> +	short		l_whence;
> +	compat_loff_t	l_start;
> +	compat_loff_t	l_len;
> +	compat_pid_t	l_pid;
> +#ifdef __ARCH_COMPAT_FLOCK64_PAD
> +	__ARCH_COMPAT_FLOCK64_PAD
> +#endif
> +} __ARCH_COMPAT_FLOCK64_PACK;

then:
#ifdef __ARCH_COMPAT_FLOCK64_ATTR
} __attribute__(__ARCH_COMPAT_FLOCK64_ATTR);
#else
};
#endif

Makes it a bit more like the xxx_PAD bits.
Although the trailing ; does cause a bit of grief.
