Resent with diff file not tab/space mangled :(

As peer_cachep uses kmem_cache_create("inet_peer_cache", ... SLAB_HWCACHE_ALIGN ...),
better try to use exactly 64 bytes instead of 72 for struct inet_peer.

This also means that this structure fits in one cache line on x86_64.


Thank you
Eric Dumazet
