mm: optimize CONFIG_PER_VMA_LOCK member placement in vm_area_struct
Currently, we end up wasting some memory in each vm_area_struct. Pahole
states that:
[...]
int vm_lock_seq; /* 40 4 */
/* XXX 4 bytes hole, try to pack */
struct vma_lock * vm_lock; /* 48 8 */
bool detached; /* 56 1 */
/* XXX 7 bytes hole, try to pack */
[...]
Let's reduce the holes and memory wastage by moving the bool:
[...]
bool detached; /* 40 1 */
/* XXX 3 bytes hole, try to pack */
int vm_lock_seq; /* 44 4 */
struct vma_lock * vm_lock; /* 48 8 */
[...]
Effectively shrinking the vm_area_struct with CONFIG_PER_VMA_LOCK by
8 byte.
Likely, we could place "detached" in the lowest bit of vm_lock, but at
least on 64bit that won't really make a difference, so keep it simple.
