mptcp: reduce 'overhead' from u16 to u8

The 'overhead' in struct mptcp_data_frag can safely use u8, as it
represents 'alignment + sizeof(mptcp_data_frag)'. With a maximum
alignment of 7('ALIGN(1, sizeof(long)) - 1'), the overhead is at most
47, well below U8_MAX and validated with BUILD_BUG_ON().

This patch also adds a field named 'unused' for further extensions.
