Subject: [PATCH 4.14 107/126] rhashtable: reorganize struct rhashtable layout

4.14-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@...gle.com>

While under frags DDOS I noticed unfortunate false sharing between
@nelems and @params.automatic_shrinking

Move @nelems at the end of struct rhashtable so that first cache line
is shared between all cpus, because almost never dirtied.
