How about putting the new char field into the implicit hole between
offset and count? pahole is your friend here:

struct radix_tree_node {
        unsigned char              shift;                /*     0     1 */
        unsigned char              offset;               /*     1     1 */

        /* XXX 2 bytes hole, try to pack */

        unsigned int               count;                /*     4     4 */
.....

Cheers,

Dave.
