[PATCH] x86: reorder mm_context_t to remove x86_64 alignment padding & so shrink mm_struct

[Richard Kennedy <richard@rsk.demon.co.uk>]

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 :-
    
    Sizes (bytes)     Slabs
    -----------------------------------
    Object :     840  Total  :       7
    SlabObj:     896  Full   :       1
    SlabSiz:   16384  Partial:       4
    Loss   :      56  CpuSlab:       2
    Align  :      64  Objects:      18
    
after :-

    Sizes (bytes)     Slabs
    ----------------------------------
    Object :     832  Total  :       7
    SlabObj:     832  Full   :       1
    SlabSiz:   16384  Partial:       4
    Loss   :       0  CpuSlab:       2
    Align  :      64  Objects:      19
