Subject: [PATCH] lockdep: optimise "struct lock_class" layout

struct lock_class does

const struct lock_trace * usage_traces[];
int name_version;
const char * name;

which wastes 4 bytes after "name_version".

Put pointer after pointers shrinking sizeof from 208 bytes to 200 bytes.
Space savings are considerable for such a trivial patch:
