Reorder extent_buffer to remove 8 bytes of alignment padding on 64 bit
builds. This shrinks its size to 128 bytes allowing it to fit into one
fewer cache lines and allows more objects per slab in its kmem_cache.

    Sizes (bytes)     Slabs
    ----------------------------------
    Object :     136  Total  :     123
    SlabObj:     136  Full   :     121
    SlabSiz:    4096  Partial:       0
    Loss   :       0  CpuSlab:       2
    Align  :       8  Objects:      30
    
 after :-
    Object :     128  Total  :       4
    SlabObj:     128  Full   :       2
    SlabSiz:    4096  Partial:       0
    Loss   :       0  CpuSlab:       2
    Align  :       8  Objects:      32

patch against v3.0-rc2
compiled & tested on x86_64

This has only had a little light testing on a scratch volume but it
still seems to work.

regards
Richard
