Thinking more about it. We are not using any of the fields of this
structure right now. So may be all of it can be padding and no need
to add "flags".
struct fuse_syncfs_in {
uint64_t padding;
};
Essentially what you have already done :-). Just rename flags to
padding/unused to make it clear its unused for now.
