Subject: [RFC PATCH 01/17] dev: Move received_rps counter next to RPS members in softnet data

Move the received_rps counter value next to the other RPS-related members
in softnet_data. This closes two four-byte holes in the structure, making
room for another pointer in the first two cache lines without bumping the
xmit struct to its own line.
