fib: avoid false sharing on fib_table_hash
While doing profile analysis, I found fib_hash_table was sometime in a
cache line shared by a possibly often written kernel structure.
(CONFIG_IP_ROUTE_MULTIPATH || !CONFIG_IPV6_MULTIPLE_TABLES)
It's hard to detect because not easily reproductible.
Make sure we allocate a full cache line to keep this shared in all cpus
caches.
