timer_list: Remove alignment padding on 64 bit when CONFIG_TIMER_STATS

Reorder struct timer_list to remove 8 bytes of alignment padding on 64
bit builds when CONFIG_TIMER_STATS is selected.

timer_list is widely used across the kernel so many structures will
benefit and shrink in size.

For example, with my config on x86_64
	per_cpu_dm_data shrinks from 136 to 128 bytes
and
	ahci_port_priv shrinks from 1032 to 968 bytes.
