[PATCH 6/6] bpf: hash: reorganize 'struct htab_elem'

From: Ming Lei
Date: Tue Dec 15 2015 - 06:22:00 EST


Lifetime for hash fields and liftime for kfree_rcu fields
can't be overlapped, so re-organizing them for better
readabilty.

Also one sizeof(void *) should be saved with this change,
and cache footprint can got improved too.
