Vincent Mailhol a146cfaaa0 can: raw: reorder struct raw_sock's members to optimise packing
struct raw_sock has several holes. Reorder the fields to save 8 bytes.

Statistics before:

  $ pahole --class_name=raw_sock net/can/raw.o
  struct raw_sock {
  	struct sock                sk __attribute__((__aligned__(8))); /*     0   776 */

  	/* XXX last struct has 1 bit hole */

  	/* --- cacheline 12 boundary (768 bytes) was 8 bytes ago --- */
  	int                        ifindex;              /*   776     4 */

  	/* XXX 4 bytes hole, try to pack */
