[PATCH] reduce size of struct inode on 64bit

[Anton Blanchard]

Reduce the size of struct inode on 64bit architectures by reducing padding.
This assumes spinlocks are 32bit or less which is the case on most
architectures.

This reduces inode structs by 24 bytes on ppc64, and on ext2 increases
the number of inodes in a 4kB slab from 5 to 6.
