net: shrinks struct net_device
commit ab95bfe01 (net: replace hooks in __netif_receive_skb) added rx_handler at wrong place, between two cache line aligned objects, creating a big hole (a full cache line) Move rx_handler and rx_handler_data before rx_queue, filling existing hole. Move master field in the cache line(s) used in receive path. This saves 64 bytes (or L1_CACHE_BYTES), and avoids two possible cache misses in receive path.
