Subject: rhashtable: reorganize struct rhashtable layout
Patch-mainline: v4.17-rc1
Git-commit: e5d672a0780d9e7118caad4c171ec88b8299398d
References: CVE-2018-5391 bsc#1103097

While under frags DDOS I noticed unfortunate false sharing between
@nelems and @params.automatic_shrinking

Move @nelems at the end of struct rhashtable so that first cache line
is shared between all cpus, because almost never dirtied.
