fib_hash: embed initial hash table in fn_zone
While looking for false sharing problems, I noticed
sizeof(struct fn_zone) was small (28 bytes) and possibly sharing a cache
line with an often written kernel structure.
Most of the time, fn_zone uses its initial hash table of 16 slots.
We can avoid the false sharing problem by embedding this initial hash
table in fn_zone itself, so that sizeof(fn_zone) > L1_CACHE_BYTES
We did a similar optimization in commit a6501e080c (Reduce memory needs
and speedup lookups)
Add a fz_revorder field to speedup fn_hash() a bit.
