net: reorder struct netns_ct for better cache-line usage
Reorder struct netns_ct so that atomic_t "count" changes don't slowdown users of read mostly fields. This is based on Eric Dumazet's proposed patch: "netfilter: conntrack: remove the central spinlock" http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.network/268758/focus=47306 The tricky part of cache-aligning this structure, that it is getting inlined in struct net (include/net/net_namespace.h), thus changes to other netns_xxx structures affects our alignment. Eric's original patch contained an ambiguity on 32-bit regarding alignment in struct net. This patch also takes 32-bit into account, and in case of changed (struct net) alignment sysctl_xxx entries have been ordered according to how often they are accessed.
