[PATCH] random: reorder struct entropy_store to remove padding on64bits

[Richard Kennedy]

Re-order structure entropy_store to remove 8 bytes of padding on
64 bit builds, so shrinking this structure from 72 to 64 bytes
and allowing it to fit into one cache line.

Signed-off-by: Richard Kennedy <richard@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
