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 */
struct list_head locks_after; /* 32 16 */
struct list_head locks_before; /* 48 16 */
/* --- cacheline 1 boundary (64 bytes) --- */
const struct lockdep_subclass_key * key; /* 64 8 */
lock_cmp_fn cmp_fn; /* 72 8 */
lock_print_fn print_fn; /* 80 8 */
unsigned int subclass; /* 88 4 */
unsigned int dep_gen_id; /* 92 4 */
long unsigned int usage_mask; /* 96 8 */
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 */
};
