media: platform: mtk-mdp: Fix mdp_ipi_comm structure alignment
The mdp_ipi_comm structure defines a command that is either PROCESS (start processing) or DEINIT (destroy instance); we are using this one to send PROCESS or DEINIT commands from Linux to an MDP instance through a VPU write but, while the first wants us to stay 4-bytes aligned, the VPU instead requires an 8-bytes data alignment. Keeping in mind that these commands are executed immediately after sending them (hence not chained with others before the VPU/MDP "actually" start executing), it is fine to simply add a padding of 4 bytes to this structure: this keeps the same performance as before, as we're still stack-allocating it, while avoiding hackery inside of mtk-vpu to ensure alignment bringing a definitely bigger performance impact.
