net: Align IFLA_STATS64 attributes properly on architectures that need it.
Since the nlattr header is 4 bytes in size, it can cause the netlink
attribute payload to not be 8-byte aligned.
This is particularly troublesome for IFLA_STATS64 which contains 64-bit
statistic values.
Solve this by creating a dummy IFLA_PAD attribute which has a payload
which is zero bytes in size. When HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS is
false, we insert an IFLA_PAD attribute into the netlink response when
necessary such that the IFLA_STATS64 payload will be properly aligned.
With help and suggestions from Eric Dumazet.
