mm: memcg: add cacheline padding after lruvec in mem_cgroup_per_node

Oliver Sand reported a performance regression caused by commit
98c9daf5ae6b ("mm: memcg: guard memcg1-specific members of struct
mem_cgroup_per_node"), which puts some fields of the mem_cgroup_per_node
structure under the CONFIG_MEMCG_V1 config option.  Apparently it causes a
false cache sharing between lruvec and lru_zone_size members of the
structure.  Fix it by adding an explicit padding after the lruvec member.

Even though the padding is not required with CONFIG_MEMCG_V1 set, it seems
like the introduced memory overhead is not significant enough to warrant
another divergence in the mem_cgroup_per_node layout, so the padding is
added unconditionally.
