The alloc_tag member has been added to task_struct at the very
beginning. This is a pointer and on 64bit architectures it forces 4 byte
padding after `ptrace' and then forcing another another 4 byte padding
after `on_cpu'. A few members later, `se' requires a cacheline aligned
due to struct sched_avg resulting in 52 hole before `se'.
This is the case on 64bit-SMP architectures.
The 52 byte hole can be avoided by moving alloc_tag away where it
currently resides.
Move alloc_tag to the end of task_struct. There is likely a hole before
`thread' due to its alignment requirement and the previous members are
likely to be already pointer-aligned.
Fixes: 22d407b164ff7 ("lib: add allocation tagging support for memory allocation profiling")
