[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] event/octeontx: fix clang 6 linker error

Clang 6 & 7 fail to naturally align packed structs due to this clang can't use 8byte atomic primitives and splits them into lesser atomic primitives. To use lesser atomic primitives we need to link libatomic (-latomic), instead supply alignment attribute to the compiler. timvf_worker.c:(.text+0x49
