Practical experience (and advice from Alexei) tell us that bitfields in
structs lead to un-optimized assembly code. I've verified this change
does lead to better x86_64 assembly, both via objdump and playing with
code snippets in godbolt.org.

Using scripts/bloat-o-meter shows the code size is reduced with 24
bytes for xdp_convert_buff_to_frame() that gets inlined e.g. in
i40e_xmit_xdp_tx_ring() which were used for microbenchmarking.

Microbenchmarking results do show improvements, but very small and
varying between 0.5 to 2 nanosec improvement per packet.

The member @metasize is changed from u8 to u32. Future users of this
area could split this into two u16 fields. I've also benchmarked with
two u16 fields showing equal performance gains and code size reduction.

The moved member @frame_sz doesn't change sizeof struct due to existing
padding. Like xdp_buff member @frame_sz is placed next to @flags, which
allows compiler to optimize assignment of these.
