[PATCH 2/2] net: thunderx: Adjust nicvf structure to reduce cache misses

[sunil.kovvuri@gmail.com]

From: Sunil Goutham <sgoutham@cavium.com>

Adjusted nicvf structure such that all elements used in hot
path like napi, xmit e.t.c fall into same cache line. This reduced
no of cache misses and resulted in ~2% increase in no of packets
handled on a core.

Also modified elements with :1 notation to boolean, to be
consistent with other element definitions.
