RDMA/cxgb4: Add missing padding at end of struct c4iw_create_cq_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_create_cq_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_create_cq_resp \
           drivers/infiniband/hw/cxgb4/iw_cxgb4.o

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

  +       /* padding: 4 */
  +       /* last cacheline: 40 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.

This patch adds an explicit padding at end of structure
c4iw_create_cq_resp, and, like 92b0ca7cb149 ("IB/mlx5: Fix stack info
leak in mlx5_ib_alloc_ucontext()"), makes function c4iw_create_cq()
not writting this padding field to userspace. This way, x86_64 kernel
will be able to write struct c4iw_create_cq_resp as expected by
unpatched and patched i386 libcxgb4.
