Reorder elements in the usb_host_interface structure to remove 8 bytes
of padding on 64 bit builds , and so shrink it's size to 40 bytes.
usb_interface_descriptor is a odd size which leaves a gap that is not
big enough to hold a pointer, so moving extralen into that gap removes
the need for more padding.

patch against v3.5-rc6
compiled and tested on x86_64
I've been running this patch for several weeks with no obvious problems.
This will allow the usb_host_interface array to be a bit smaller and should
better align with the cachelines.
regards
Richard
