[NET]: Keep sk_backlog near sk_lock

Browse source 
sk_backlog is a critical field of struct sock. (known famous words)

It is (ab)used in hot paths, in particular in release_sock(), tcp_recvmsg(),
tcp_v4_rcv(), sk_receive_skb().

It really makes sense to place it next to sk_lock, because sk_backlog is only
used after sk_lock locked (and thus memory cache line in L1 cache). This
should reduce cache misses and sk_lock acquisition time.

(In theory, we could only move the head pointer near sk_lock, and leaving tail
far away, because 'tail' is normally not so hot, but keep it simple :) )
