[PATCH] nvme-tcp: Fix implicit padding in struct nvme_tcp_term_pdu

The nvme_tcp_term_pdu definition needs to be updated anyways to match
the spec. FEI is at offset 10, so it isn't 4-byte-aligned. I think we
have gotten away with this so far because the NVMe/TCP driver never
sends H2CTermReq and doesn't interpret C2HTermReq.
Mirroring numdl/numdu in nvme_get_log_page_command, the definition
should look something like:
struct nvme_tcp_term_pdu {
        struct nvme_tcp_hdr hdr;
        __le16 fes;
        __le16 feil;
        __le16 feiu;
        __u8 rsvd[10];
};

Best,
Caleb
