Silence a couple of spurious valgrind warnings in inval.c.

Define padding bytes in SharedInvalidationMessage structs to be
defined. Otherwise the sinvaladt.c ringbuffer, which is accessed by
multiple processes, will cause spurious valgrind warnings about
undefined memory being used. That's because valgrind remembers the
undefined bytes from the last local process's store, not realizing
that another process has written since, filling the previously
uninitialized bytes.
