af_packet: Avoid cache line dirtying



While doing multiple captures, I found af_packet was dirtying cache line
containing its prot_hook.

This slow down machines where several cpus are necessary to handle capture
traffic, as each prot_hook is traversed for each packet coming in or out
the host.

This patches moves "struct packet_type prot_hook" to the end of
packet_sock, and uses a ____cacheline_aligned_in_smp to make sure
this remains shared by all cpus.
