[PATCH] firewire:queue the right number of data

[JiSheng Zhang]

Hi,

There will be 4 padding bytes in struct fw_cdev_event_response on some platforms
The member:__u32 data will point to these padding bytes. While queue the
response and data in complete_transaction in fw-cdev.c, it will queue like this:
|response(excluding padding bytes)|4 padding bytes|4 padding bytes|data. 
It queue 4 extra bytes. That is to say it use "&response + sizeof(response)"
while other place of kernel and userspace library use "&response + offsetof
(typeof(response), data)". So it will lost the last 4 bytes of data.This patch 
can fix it while not changing the struct definition.

Sorry for open a new ticket.
