The original code put five u32 before a u64 expansion[10] array. Five is odd, this will cause trouble in the extension of the structure by adding new features. This patch moves to use u8 for reserved field to avoid future alignment risk. Meanwhile, it also clears the memory of struct map_benchmark in tools, otherwise, if users use old version to run on newer kernel, the random expansion value will cause side effect on newer kernel.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
