Okay it is still not really necessary (we don't ever have pass an array
of struct drm_etnaviv_gem_submit and the worst that could happen is that
the DRM core needs to zero the added struct padding on 64bit), but it
also doesn't hurt and skipping the zero fill on 64bit sounds good, so
please keep as-is.
