net: make neigh_priv_len in struct net_device 16bit instead of 8bit
neigh_priv_len is defined as u8. With all debug enabled struct ipoib_neigh has 200 bytes. The largest part is sk_buff_head with 96 bytes and here the spinlock with 72 bytes. The size value still fits in this u8 leaving some room for more. On -RT struct ipoib_neigh put on weight and has 392 bytes. The main reason is sk_buff_head with 288 and the fatty here is spinlock with 192 bytes. This does no longer fit into into neigh_priv_len and gcc complains. This patch changes neigh_priv_len from being 8bit to 16bit. Since the following element (dev_id) is 16bit followed by a spinlock which is aligned, the struct remains with a total size of 3200 (allmodconfig) / 2048 (with as much debug off as possible) bytes on x86-64. On x86-32 the struct is 1856 (allmodconfig) / 1216 (with as much debug off as possible) bytes long. The numbers were gained with and without the patch to prove that this change does not increase the size of the struct.
