[PATCH v6 4/7] page_pool: make sure frag API fields don't span between cachelines

After commit 5027ec19f104 ("net: page_pool: split the page_pool_params
into fast and slow") that made &page_pool contain only "hot" params at
the start, cacheline boundary chops frag API fields group in the middle
again.
To not bother with this each time fast params get expanded or shrunk,
let's just align them to `4 * sizeof(long)`, the closest upper pow-2 to
their actual size (2 longs + 1 int). This ensures 16-byte alignment for
the 32-bit architectures and 32-byte alignment for the 64-bit ones,
excluding unnecessary false-sharing.
::page_state_hold_cnt is used quite intensively on hotpath no matter if
frag API is used, so move it to the newly created hole in the first
cacheline.
