[PATCH stable 4.9 v2 15/29] rhashtable: reorganize struct rhashtable layout

[Florian Fainelli]

From: Eric Dumazet <eduma...@google.com>

While under frags DDOS I noticed unfortunate false sharing between
@nelems and @params.automatic_shrinking

Move @nelems at the end of struct rhashtable so that first cache line
is shared between all cpus, because almost never dirtied.
