[ Upstream commit 9ce7bc036ae4cfe3393232c86e9e1fea2153c237 ]
It is a waste of memory to use a full "struct netns_sysctl_ipv6" while only one pointer is really used, considering netns_sysctl_ipv6 keeps growing.
Also, since "struct netns_frags" has cache line alignment, it is better to move the frags_hdr pointer outside, otherwise we spend a full cache line for this pointer.
This saves 192 bytes of memory per netns.
