Subject: [PATCH net-next] fib_rules: reorder struct fib_rules fields

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

Move refcnt, pref, suppress_ifgroup, suppress_prefixlen out of first
cache line, as they are not used in fast path.

Make sure ctarget & fr_net are in first cache line.

(Assuming 64 bit arches and 64 bytes cache lines)
