btrfs: remove 64bit alignment padding to allow extent_buffer to fit into one fewer cacheline



Reorder extent_buffer to remove 8 bytes of alignment padding on 64 bit
builds. This shrinks its size to 128 bytes allowing it to fit into one
fewer cache lines and allows more objects per slab in its kmem_cache.

slabinfo extent_buffer reports :-

 before:-
    Sizes (bytes)     Slabs
    ----------------------------------
    Object :     136  Total  :     123
    SlabObj:     136  Full   :     121
    SlabSiz:    4096  Partial:       0
    Loss   :       0  CpuSlab:       2
    Align  :       8  Objects:      30

 after :-
    Object :     128  Total  :       4
    SlabObj:     128  Full   :       2
    SlabSiz:    4096  Partial:       0
    Loss   :       0  CpuSlab:       2
    Align  :       8  Objects:      32
