[PATCH] net/af_packet: cache align Rx/Tx structs

Cache align Rx and Tx queue struct to avoid false sharing.

RX struct happens to be 64 bytes on x86_64 already, so cache alignment
has no effect there, but it does on 32-bit ISAs.

TX struct is 56 bytes on x86_64.

Both structs keep counters, and in the RX case they are updated even
for empty polls.
