Subject: [PATCH v4 08/13] ubifs: setflags: Make dirtied_ino_d 8 bytes aligned

Make 'ui->data_len' aligned with 8 bytes before it is assigned to
dirtied_ino_d. Since 8871d84c8f8b0c6b("ubifs: convert to fileattr")
applied, 'setflags()' only affects regular files and directories, only
xattr inode, symlink inode and special inode(pipe/char_dev/block_dev)
have none- zero 'ui->data_len' field, so assertion
'!(req->dirtied_ino_d & 7)' cannot fail in ubifs_budget_space().
To avoid assertion fails in future evolution(eg. setflags can operate
special inodes), it's better to make dirtied_ino_d 8 bytes aligned,
after all aligned size is still zero for regular files.

Fixes: 1e51764a3c2ac05a ("UBIFS: add new flash file system")
