Subject: [PATCH stable 4.9 15/29] rhashtable: reorganize struct rhashtable layout

From: Florian Fainelli <[email-masked]>
Date: Tue, 9 Oct 2018 15:49:10 -0700

From: Eric Dumazet <[email-masked]>

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.
