[ovs-dev] [PATCH v3 11/12] netlink-socket: Reorder elements in nl_dump structure.

By reordering the elements in nl_dump structure, pad bytes can be
reduced there by saving a cache line.

Before: structure size:72, holes:1, sum padbytes:4, cachelines:2
After: structure size:64, holes:0, sum padbytes:0, cachelines:1
