delayacct: align to 8 byte boundary on 64-bit systems

prepare_reply() sets up an skb for the response.  The payload contains:

 +--------------------------------+
 | genlmsghdr - 4 bytes           |
 +--------------------------------+
 | NLA header - 4 bytes           | /* Aggregate header */
 +-+------------------------------+
 | | NLA header - 4 bytes         | /* PID header */
 | +------------------------------+
 | | pid/tgid   - 4 bytes         |
 | +------------------------------+
 | | NLA header - 4 bytes         | /* stats header */
 | + -----------------------------+ <- oops. aligned on 4 byte boundary
 | | struct taskstats - 328 bytes |
 +-+------------------------------+

The start of the taskstats struct must be 8 byte aligned on IA64 (and
other systems with 8 byte alignment rules for 64-bit types) or runtime
alignment warnings will be issued.

This patch pads the pid/tgid field out to sizeof(long), which forces the
alignment of taskstats.  The getdelays userspace code is ok with this
since it assumes 32-bit pid/tgid and then honors that header's length
field.

An array is used to avoid exposing kernel memory contents to userspace in
the response.
