Group some variables based on their sizes to reduce holes. On x86_64, this shrinks the size of 'struct nvmf_ctrl_options' from 136 to 128 bytes. When such a structure is allocated in nvmf_create_ctrl(), because of the way memory allocation works, when 136 bytes were requested, 192 bytes were allocated. So this saves 64 bytes per allocation, 1 cache line to hold the whole structure and a few cycles when zeroing the memory in nvmf_create_ctrl().
