The .bd_inode field of block_device is used in IO fast path of
blkdev_write_iter() and blkdev_llseek(), so it is more efficient to keep
it into the 1st cacheline.

.bd_openers is only touched in open()/close(), and .bd_size_lock is only
for updating bdev capacity, which is in slow path too.

So swap .bd_inode layout with .bd_openers & .bd_size_lock to move
.bd_inode into the 1st cache line.
