Eric Dumazet 2a06b8982f net: reorder 'struct net' fields to avoid false sharing
Intel test robot reported a ~7% regression on TCP_CRR tests
that they bisected to the cited commit.

Indeed, every time a new TCP socket is created or deleted,
the atomic counter net->count is touched (via get_net(net)
and put_net(net) calls)

So cpus might have to reload a contended cache line in
net_hash_mix(net) calls.

We need to reorder 'struct net' fields to move @hash_mix
in a read mostly cache line.

We move in the first cache line fields that can be
dirtied often.

We probably will have to address in a followup patch
the __randomize_layout that was added in linux-4.13,
since this might break our placement choices.

Fixes: 355b985537 ("netns: provide pure entropy for net_hash_mix()")
