Earlier commits removed two members from struct Qdisc which places next_sched/gso_skb into a different cacheline than ->state.
This restores the struct layout to what it was before the removal. Move the two members, then add an annotation so they all reside in the same cacheline. This adds a 16 byte hole after cpu_qstats. The hole could be closed but as it doesn't decrease total struct size just do it this way.
