igb: update ring and adapter structure to improve performance
This change is meant to improve performance by splitting the Tx and Rx rings into 3 sections. The first is primarily a read only section containing basic things like the indexes, a pointer to the dev and netdev structures, and basic information. The second section contains the stats and next_to_use and next_to_clean values. The third section is primarily unused values that can just be placed at the end of the ring and are not used in the hot path. The adapter structure has several sections that are read in the hot path. In order to improve performance there I am combining the frequent read hot path items into a single cache line.
