x86_64: Remove unused padding from tcbhead_t
This padding is difficult to use for preserving the internal GLIBC_PRIVATE ABI. The comment is misleading. Current Address Sanitizer uses heuristics to determine struct pthread size. It does not depend on its precise layout. It merely scans for pointers allocated using malloc. Due to the removal of the padding, the assert for its start is no longer required.
