Looking at the TP_printk() format below, the pfn is 8 bytes and
sharing_count is 4. This will likely create a hole between the two fields
for alignment reasons. Should put the sharing_count at the end.

Same here. It should swap the two fields. Note, if you already added this,
it will not break backward compatibility swapping them, as tooling should
use the format files that state where these fields are located in the raw
data.
