Subject: IB/core: Fix ib_wc structure size to remain in 64 bytes boundary

From: Bodong Wang <bodong@mellanox.com>

commit cd2a6e7d384b043d5d029e39663061cebc949385 upstream.

The change of slid from u16 to u32 results in sizeof(struct ib_wc)
cross 64B boundary, which causes more cache misses. This patch
rearranges the fields and remain the size to 64B.
