ag71xx: Reorder ag71xx struct members for better cache performance

Qualcomm claims this improves the D-cache footprint. Origina commit message below:

Subject: [ag71xx] cluster/align structs for cache perf

Cluster the frequently used, per-packet structures in ag71xx near
to each other, and cacheline-align them.  Some other re-ordering
occurred to move "warmer" structures near the per-packet structures.
