The padding field in the structure was previously reserved to
maintain a stable interface for potential new fields, ensuring
compatibility with user-space shared data structures.
However,it was accidentally removed by tiantao in a prior commit,
which may lead to incompatibility between user space and the kernel.

This patch reinstates the padding to restore the original structure
layout and preserve compatibility.
