Currently, sizeof(struct fib_alias) is 24 or 48 bytes on 32/64 bits
arches.

Because of SLAB_HWCACHE_ALIGN requirement, these are rounded to 32 and
64 bytes respectively.

This patch moves rcu to the end of fib_alias, and conditionally
defines it only for CONFIG_IP_FIB_TRIE.

We also remove SLAB_HWCACHE_ALIGN requirement for fib_alias and
fib_node objects because it is not necessary.

(BTW SLUB currently denies it for objects smaller than
cache_line_size() / 2, but not SLAB)

Finally, sizeof(fib_alias) go back to 16 and 32 bytes.

Then, we can embed one fib_alias on each fib_node, to favor locality.
Most of the time access to the fib_alias will be free because one
cache line contains both the list head (fn_alias) and (one of) the
list element.
