[PATCH] optimise struct page layout

Reorganise the members of struct page.

- Place ->flags at the start so the compiler can generate indirect
  addressing rather than indirect+indexed for this commonly-accessed
  field.  Shrinks the kernel by ~100 bytes.

- Keep ->count with ->flags so they have the best chance of
  being in the same cacheline.
