[NET]: Reorder fields of struct dst_entry
This last patch (but not least :) ) finally moves the next pointer at the end of struct dst_entry. This permits to perform route cache lookups with a minimal cost of one cache line per entry, instead of two. Both 32bits and 64bits platforms benefit from this new layout.
