From: Hans van Kranenburg <hans.van.kranenburg@xxxxxxxxxx>
In commit c11d2c236cc26 the get_dev_stats ioctl was added.
Shortly thereafter, in commit b27f7c0c150f7, the flags field was added.
However, the calculation for unused padding space was not updated, which
also invalidated the comment.
Clarify what happened to reduce confusion and wasted time for anyone
implementing this.
