kobject: Reorder fields in 'struct kobject'

Group some variables based on their sizes to reduce hole and avoid padding.
On x86_64, this shrinks the size of 'struct kobject' from 256 to 244 bytes.

This structure is often included in some other structures. So these other
structures will also benefit from this 8 bytes saving.

This is especially nice for structure like 'cma_kobject' or 'class_dir'
that are now 256 bytes long. When they are kzalloc()'ed, 256 bytes are
allocated, instead of 512.
