random: avoid reading two cache lines on irq randomness
In order to avoid reading and dirtying two cache lines on every IRQ,
move the work_struct to the bottom of the fast_pool struct. add_
interrupt_randomness() always touches .pool and .count, which are
currently split, because .mix pushes everything down. Instead, move .mix
to the bottom, so that .pool and .count are always in the first cache
line, since .mix is only accessed when the pool is full.
Fixes: 58340f8e952b ("random: defer fast pool mixing to worker")
