Subject: [DST]: shrinks sizeof(struct rtable) by 64 bytes on x86_64

On x86_64, sizeof(struct rtable) is 0x148, which is rounded up to 0x180
bytes by SLAB allocator.

We can reduce this to exactly 0x140 bytes, without alignment overhead,
and store 12 struct rtable per PAGE instead of 10.

rate_tokens is currently defined as an "unsigned long", while its content
should not exceed 6*HZ. It can safely be converted to an unsigned int.

Moving tclassid right after rate_tokens to fill the 4 bytes hole permits
to save 8 bytes on 'struct dst_entry', which finally permits to save 8
bytes on 'struct rtable'
