[PATCH] md: make sure 64bit fields in version-1 metadata are 64-bit aligned

Browse source 
reshape_position is a 64bit field that was not 64bit aligned.  So swap with
new_level.

NOTE: this is a user-visible change.  However:
  - The bad code has not appeared in a released kernel
  - This code is still marked 'experimental'
  - This only affects version-1 superblock, which are not in wide use
  - These field are only used (rather than simply reported) by user-space
    tools in extemely rare circumstances : after a reshape crashes in the
    first second of the reshape process.

So I believe that, at this stage, the change is safe.  Especially if people
heed the 'help' message on use mdadm-2.4.1.
