[PATCH] ext4: remove alignment padding from ext4_inode_info on 64 bit builds

[Richard Kennedy <richard@rsk.demon.co.uk>]

Reorder structure ext4_inode_info to remove 16 bytes of alignment
padding on 64 bit builds. This shrinks its size from 904 to 888 bytes
with (CONFIG_EXT4_S_XATTR=y && CONFIG_QUOTA=n).
    
This will allow this structure to use one fewer cache lines.

Also change type of i_delalloc_reserved_flag to bool to better reflect
its usage.

compiled & tested on x86_64

patch against 2.6.36-rc1

Early testing shows more consistent results ( i.e. smaller standard
deviations) on my AMD X2 setup, but I shall re-run these tests to check
if this is repeatable.

regards
Richard
