struct proc_dir_entry became bit messy over years:
* move 16-bit ->mode_t before namelen to get rid of padding
* make ->in_use first field: it seems to be most used resulting in
smaller code on x86_64 (defconfig):
add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 7/13 up/down: 24/-67 (-43)

* move writeable fields together to a first cacheline (on x86_64),
those include
* ->in_use: reference count, taken every open/read/write/close etc
* ->count: reference count, taken at readdir on every entry
* ->pde_openers: tracks (nearly) every open, dirtied
* ->pde_unload_lock: spinlock protecting ->pde_openers
* ->proc_iops, ->proc_fops, ->data: writeonce fields,
used right together with previous group.
* other rarely written fields go into 1st/2nd and 2nd/3rd cacheline on
32-bit and 64-bit respectively.
Additionally on 32-bit, ->subdir, ->subdir_node, ->namelen, ->name go
fully into 2nd cacheline, separated from writeable fields. They are all
used during lookup.
