locking/lockdep: Slightly reorder 'struct lock_class' to save some memory

Based on pahole, 2 holes can be combined in the 'struct lock_class'. This
saves 8 bytes in the structure on my x86_64.

On a x86_64 configured with allmodconfig, this saves ~64kb of memory in
'kernel/locking/lockdep.o':

                text         data           bss           dec     filename
  Before:    102,501    1,912,490    11,531,636    13,546,627     kernel/locking/lockdep.o
  After:     102,181    1,912,490    11,466,100    13,480,771     kernel/locking/lockdep.o

because of:

  struct lock_class lock_classes[MAX_LOCKDEP_KEYS];

After the reorder, pahole gives:

  struct lock_class {
          struct hlist_node          hash_entry;           /*     0    16 */
          struct list_head           lock_entry;           /*    16    16 */

          const struct lock_trace  * usage_traces[10];     /*   104    80 */
          /* --- cacheline 2 boundary (128 bytes) was 56 bytes ago --- */
          const char  *              name;                 /*   184     8 */
          /* --- cacheline 3 boundary (192 bytes) --- */
          int                        name_version;         /*   192     4 */
          u8                         wait_type_inner;      /*   196     1 */
          u8                         wait_type_outer;      /*   197     1 */
          u8                         lock_type;            /*   198     1 */

          /* XXX 1 byte hole, try to pack */

          long unsigned int          contention_point[4];  /*   200    32 */
          long unsigned int          contending_point[4];  /*   232    32 */

          /* size: 264, cachelines: 5, members: 18 */
          /* sum members: 263, holes: 1, sum holes: 1 */
          /* last cacheline: 8 bytes */
  };
