[PATCH] fs: super: do not cacheline align s_{inode,dentry}_lru

[Vladimir Davydov]

super_block->s_{inode,dentry}_lru were made cacheline aligned, because
the list_lru struct had a spinlock and a list embedded to it and
therefore could be actively modified.

Today, struct list_lru is, in fact, read-only: the lists and locks live
in list_lru_node's, which list_lru points to. The list_lru_node struct
is already cacheline aligned by definition.

So let us drop the cacheline aligned annotation in order not to waste
space in struct super_block.
