This is the continuation (series #3) of the work done to align netlink
attributes when these attributes contain some 64-bit fields.

It's the last patchset from what I've seen.

The last user of nla_put_u64() is block/drbd. This module does not use
standard netlink API (see all the stuff in include/linux/genl_magic_struct.h
and include/linux/genl_magic_func.h). I didn't modify it because it's seems
hard to do it whithout testing and fully understanding the context
Something like this should just work.
Unfortunately we had problems using unspec, that's why an explicit new
padding attribute is added for each netlink attribute set.
