Subject: [PATCH v2 1/4] tools headers UAPI: add cache aligning related macro

____cacheline_aligned_in_smp macro is needed to avoid
cache bouncing in SMP system, which is used in ptr_ring
lib.

So add the related macro in order to bulid ptr_ring from
user space.

As SMP_CACHE_BYTES is 64 bytes for arm64 and most of x86
system, so use 64 bytes as the default SMP_CACHE_BYTES if
SMP_CACHE_BYTES is not defined.
