[IPV6]: Some cleanups in include/net/ipv6.h



1) struct ip6_flowlabel : moves 'users' field to avoid two 32bits
   holes for 64bit arches. Shrinks by 8 bytes sizeof(struct
   ip6_flowlabel)

2) ipv6_addr_cmp() and ipv6_addr_copy() dont need (void *) casts :
   Compiler might take into account natural alignement of in6_addr
   structs to emit better code for memcpy()/memcmp() Casts to (void *)
   force byte accesses.

3) ipv6_addr_prefix() optimization :

Better to clear whole struct, as compiler can emit better code for
memset(addr, 0, 16) (2 stores on x86_64), and avoid some conditional
branches.

# size vmlinux.after vmlinux.before
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
5262262  647612  557432 6467306  62aeea vmlinux.after
5262550  647612  557432 6467594  62b00a vmlinux.before

thats 288 bytes saved.
