Subject: [PATCH net-next v3] block/drbd: align properly u64 in nl messages

The attribute 0 is never used in drbd, so let's use it as pad attribute
in netlink messages. This minimizes the patch.

Note that this patch is only compile-tested.

v2 -> v3:
  use 0 as padattr instead of adding new attributes

v1 -> v2:
 rework the patch to handle all cases

Maybe prefixing genl_magic_func.h and genl_magic_struct.h by 'drbd_'
could be interesting so that new module won't use it. What is your
opinion?
