vhost: restrict pointer aliasing for packed ring

Restrict pointer aliasing to allow the compiler to vectorize loop
more aggressively.

With this patch, a 9.6% improvement is observed in throughput for
the packed virtio-net PVP case, and a 2.8% improvement in throughput
for the packed virtio-user PVP case. All performance data are measured
on ThunderX-2 platform under 0.001% acceptable packet loss with 1 core
on both vhost and virtio side.
