netns: reorder fields in struct net

In a network bench, I noticed an unfortunate false sharing between
'loopback_dev' and 'count' fields in "struct net".

'count' is written each time a socket is created or destroyed, while
loopback_dev might be often read in routing code.

Move loopback_dev in a read mostly section of "struct net"

Note: struct netns_xfrm is cache line aligned on SMP.
(It contains a "struct dst_ops")
Move it at the end to avoid holes, and reduce sizeof(struct net) by 128
bytes on ia32.
