net: reorder struct netns_ct for better cache-line usage 

Reorder struct netns_ct so that atomic_t "count" changes don't
slowdown users of read mostly fields.

This is based on Eric Dumazet's proposed patch:
 "netfilter: conntrack: remove the central spinlock"
 http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.network/268758/focus=47306

The tricky part of cache-aligning this structure, that it is getting
inlined in struct net (include/net/net_namespace.h), thus changes to
other netns_xxx structures affects our alignment.

Eric's original patch contained an ambiguity on 32-bit regarding
alignment in struct net.  This patch also takes 32-bit into account,
and in case of changed (struct net) alignment sysctl_xxx entries have
been ordered according to how often they are accessed.
