[qemu-s390x] [PATCH v2] hw/s390/ccw.c: Don't take address of packed members

[Peter Maydell]

Taking the address of a field in a packed struct is a bad idea, because
it might not be actually aligned enough for that pointer type (and
thus cause a crash on dereference on some host architectures). Newer
versions of clang warn about this.

Avoid the problem by using local copies of the PMCW and SCSW
struct fields in copy_schib_from_guest() and copy_schib_to_guest().

v1->v2 changes:
 * add comment about why we're using locals
 * name locals with underscores, as QEMU's naming conventions recommend
