bpf: fix uapi bpf_prog_info fields alignment

Merge commit 1c8c5a9d38f60 ("Merge git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net-next") undid the fix from commit 36f9814a494 ("bpf: fix uapi hole for 32 bit compat applications") by taking the gpl_compatible 1-bit field definition from commit b85fab0e67b162 ("bpf: Add gpl_compatible flag to struct bpf_prog_info") as is. That breaks architectures with 16-bit alignment like m68k. Add 31-bit pad after gpl_compatible to restore alignment of following fields. Thanks to Dmitry V. Levin his analysis of this bug history.
