Subject: [PATCH 07/10] net: reorganize struct sock for better data locality

Group fields used in TX path, and keep some cache lines mostly read
to permit sharing among cpus.

Gained two 4 bytes holes on 64bit arches.

Added a place holder for tcp tsq_flags, next to sk_wmem_alloc
to speed up tcp_wfree() in the following patch.

I have not added ____cacheline_aligned_in_smp, this might be done later.
I prefer doing this once inet and tcp/udp sockets reorg is also done.

Tested with both TCP and UDP.

UDP receiver performance under flood increased by ~20 % :
Accessing sk_filter/sk_wq/sk_napi_id no longer stalls because sk_drops
was moved away from a critical cache line, now mostly read and shared.
