af6a25f0e1 x86: Reorder mm_context_t to remove x86_64 alignment padding and thus shrink mm_struct
Reorder mm_context_t to remove alignment padding on 64 bit
builds shrinking its size from 64 to 56 bytes.

This allows mm_struct to shrink from 840 to 832 bytes, so using
one fewer cache lines, and getting more objects per slab when
using slub.

slabinfo mm_struct reports
before :-

c2ef45df3b x86: add context tag to mark mm when running a task in 32-bit compatibility mode
This tag is intended to mirror the thread info TIF_IA32 flag.  Will be used to
identify mm's which support 32 bit tasks running in compatibility mode without
requiring a reference to the task itself.

1965aae3c9 x86: Fix ASM_X86__ header guards
Change header guards named "ASM_X86__*" to "_ASM_X86_*" since:

a. the double underscore is ugly and pointless.
b. no leading underscore violates namespace constraints.
