Subject: [PATCH 4.9 58/71] inet: frags: reorganize struct netns_frags

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

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

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

Put the read-mostly fields in a separate cache line
at the beginning of struct netns_frags, to reduce
false sharing noticed in inet_frag_kill()
