[IPV4] FIB_HASH: Reduce memory needs and speedup lookups
Currently, sizeof(struct fib_alias) is 24 or 48 bytes on 32/64 bits arches. Because of SLAB_HWCACHE_ALIGN requirement, these are rounded to 32 and 64 bytes respectively. This patch moves rcu to the end of fib_alias, and conditionally defines it only for CONFIG_IP_FIB_TRIE. We also remove SLAB_HWCACHE_ALIGN requirement for fib_alias and fib_node objects because it is not necessary. (BTW SLUB currently denies it for objects smaller than cache_line_size() / 2, but not SLAB) Finally, sizeof(fib_alias) go back to 16 and 32 bytes. Then, we can embed one fib_alias on each fib_node, to favor locality. Most of the time access to the fib_alias will be free because one cache line contains both the list head (fn_alias) and (one of) the list element.
