net: make sure struct dst_entry refcount is aligned on 64 bytes

As found in the past (commit f1dd9c37
[NET]: Fix tbench regression in 2.6.25-rc1), it is really
important that struct dst_entry refcount is aligned on a cache line.

We cannot use __atribute((aligned)), so manually pad the structure
for 32 and 64 bit arches.

for 32bit : offsetof(truct dst_entry, __refcnt) is 0x80
for 64bit : offsetof(truct dst_entry, __refcnt) is 0xc0

As it is not possible to guess at compile time cache line size,
we use a generic value of 64 bytes, that satisfies many current arches.
(Using 128 bytes alignment on 64bit arches would waste 64 bytes)

Add a BUILD_BUG_ON to catch future updates to "struct dst_entry" dont
break this alignment.

"tbench 8" is 4.4 % faster on a dual quad core (HP BL460c G1), Intel E5450 @3.00GHz
(2350 MB/s instead of 2250 MB/s)
