[PATCH] memory page_alloc zonelist caching reorder structure

Rearrange the struct members in the 'struct zonelist_cache' structure, so
as to put the readonly (once initialized) z_to_n[] array first, where it
will come right after the zones[] array in struct zonelist.

This pretty much eliminates the chance that the two frequently written
elements of 'struct zonelist_cache', the fullzones bitmap and last_full_zap
times, will end up on the same cache line as the performance sensitive,
frequently read, never (after init) written zones[] array.

Keeping frequently written data off frequently read cache lines is good for
performance.

Thanks to Rohit Seth for the suggestion.
