drm: Pad drm_mode_get_connector to 64-bit boundary
Pavel Roskin reported that DRM_IOCTL_MODE_GETCONNECTOR was overwritting the 4 bytes beyond the end of its structure with a 32-bit userspace running on a 64-bit kernel. This is due to the padding gcc inserts as the drm_mode_get_connector struct includes a u64 and its size is not a natural multiple of u64s. 64-bit kernel: sizeof(drm_mode_get_connector)=80, alignof=8 sizeof(drm_mode_get_encoder)=20, alignof=4 sizeof(drm_mode_modeinfo)=68, alignof=4 32-bit userspace: sizeof(drm_mode_get_connector)=76, alignof=4 sizeof(drm_mode_get_encoder)=20, alignof=4 sizeof(drm_mode_modeinfo)=68, alignof=4 Fortuituously we can insert explicit padding to the tail of our structures without breaking ABI.
