mm/slub.c: pack red_left_pad with another int to save a word

Patch series "try to save some memory for kmem_cache in some cases", v2.

kmem_cache is a frequently used data in kernel.  During the code
reading, I found maybe we could save some space in some cases.

1. On 64bit arch, type int will occupy a word if it doesn't sit well.

2. cpu_slab->partial is just used when CONFIG_SLUB_CPU_PARTIAL is set

3. cpu_partial is just used when CONFIG_SLUB_CPU_PARTIAL is set, while
   just save some space on 32bit arch.

This patch (of 3):

On 64bit arch, struct is 8-bytes aligned, so int will occupy a word if
it doesn't sit well.

This patch pack red_left_pad with reserved to save 8 bytes for struct
kmem_cache on a 64bit arch.
