I'm not particularly concerned with whether this patch uses named padding, 
unnamed bit-field or 64-bit tv_nsec in the internal struct __timespec64.  
(I don't think a named bit-field would make sense there, however.)  If we 
use an unnamed bit-field now we can readily change it later to have a name 
if we decide to support clearing padding for compat syscalls for kernels 
5.1.0 to 5.1.4.
