x86: Reorder mm_context_t to remove x86_64 alignment padding and thus shrink mm_struct
Reorder mm_context_t to remove alignment padding on 64 bit
builds shrinking its size from 64 to 56 bytes.
This allows mm_struct to shrink from 840 to 832 bytes, so using
one fewer cache lines, and getting more objects per slab when
using slub.
slabinfo mm_struct reports
