Play safe and add flags member to all structs. So we don't need to break API or create new IOCTL in the future if new features that requires flags arises.

v2: check if flags are valid (zero, in this case)

v3: return -EINVAL if flags are not zero'ed

v4: add padding for 64-bit alignment

v5: rebase to use only stacked sync_file_info

Why are these vX things here in the changelog?

That's how we usually roll in gpu land.
