gfs2: Avoid alignment hole in struct lm_lockname (2017-03-15 10:06:07 -0400)

----------------------------------------------------------------
This is an emergency patch for 4.11-rc3

The GFS2 developers uncovered a really nasty problem that
can lead to random corruption and kernel panic, much like
the last one. Andreas Gruenbacher wrote this simple one-line
patch to fix the problem:
