Subject: [PATCH net-next 3/5] net: skbuff: move alloc_cpu into a potential hole

alloc_cpu is currently between 4 byte fields, so it's almost
guaranteed to create a 2B hole. It has a knock on effect of
creating a 4B hole after @end (and @end and @tail being in
different cachelines).

None of this matters hugely, but for kernel configs which
don't enable all the features there may well be a 2B hole
after the bitfield. Move alloc_cpu there.
