Group some variables based on their sizes to reduce hole and avoid padding. On x86_64, this shrinks the size from 112 to 96 bytes. This should have no real impact on memory allocation because 'struct spi_message' is mostly used on stack, but it can save a few cycles when the structure is initialized with spi_message_init() and co.
