    net: fib_rules: rearrange struct fib_rule

    The ifname member is only used to resolve interface names and is not needed
    during rule lookups. The target and ctarget members however are used during
    rule lookups and are currently located in a second cacheline.

    Move ifname further to the end to make sure both target and ctarget are
    located in the same cacheline as other members used during rule lookups.

    The layout on 64 bit changes from:

    struct fib_rule {
    	...
            u32                        table;                /*    56     4 */
            u8                         action;               /*    60     1 */

            /* XXX 3 bytes hole, try to pack */

            /* --- cacheline 1 boundary (64 bytes) --- */
            u32                        target;               /*    64     4 */

            /* XXX 4 bytes hole, try to pack */

            struct fib_rule *          ctarget;              /*    72     8 */
            struct rcu_head            rcu;                  /*    80    16 */
            struct net *               fr_net;               /*    96     8 */
    };

    to:

    struct fib_rule {
    	...
            u32                        table;                /*    40     4 */
            u8                         action;               /*    44     1 */

            /* XXX 3 bytes hole, try to pack */

            u32                        target;               /*    48     4 */

            /* XXX 4 bytes hole, try to pack */

            struct fib_rule *          ctarget;              /*    56     8 */
            /* --- cacheline 1 boundary (64 bytes) --- */
            char                       ifname[16];           /*    64    16 */
            struct rcu_head            rcu;                  /*    80    16 */
            struct net *               fr_net;               /*    96     8 */

    };
