RDMA/cxgb4: add missing padding at end of struct c4iw_alloc_ucontext_resp

The i386 ABI disagrees with most other ABIs regarding alignment of
data types larger than 4 bytes: on most ABIs a padding must be added
at end of the structures, while it is not required on i386.

So for most ABI struct c4iw_alloc_ucontext_resp gets implicitly padded
to be aligned on a 8 bytes multiple, while for i386, such padding is
not added.

The tool pahole can be used to find such implicit padding:

  $ pahole --anon_include \
           --nested_anon_include \
           --recursive \
           --class_name c4iw_alloc_ucontext_resp \
           drivers/infiniband/hw/cxgb4/iw_cxgb4.o

Then, structure layout can be compared between i386 and x86_64:

  +       /* last cacheline: 16 bytes */
   };

This ABI disagreement will make an x86_64 kernel try to write past the
buffer provided by an i386 binary.

When boundary check will be implemented, the x86_64 kernel will refuse
to write past the i386 userspace provided buffer and the uverbs will
fail.

If the structure is on a page boundary and the next page is not
mapped, ib_copy_to_udata() will fail and the uverb will fail.

Additionally, as reported by Dan Carpenter, without the implicit
padding being properly cleared, an information leak would take place
in most architectures.

This patch adds an explicit padding to struct c4iw_alloc_ucontext_resp,
and, like 92b0ca7cb149 ("IB/mlx5: Fix stack info leak in
mlx5_ib_alloc_ucontext()"), makes function c4iw_alloc_ucontext()
not writting this padding field to userspace. This way, x86_64 kernel
will be able to write struct c4iw_alloc_ucontext_resp as expected by
unpatched and patched i386 libcxgb4.
