htb: refactor struct htb_sched fields for performance



htb_sched structures are big, and source of false sharing on SMP.

Every time a packet is queued or dequeue, many cache lines must be
touched because structures are not lay out properly.

By carefully splitting htb_sched in two parts, and define sub structures
to increase data locality, we can improve performance dramatically on
SMP.

New htb_prio structure can also be used in htb_class to increase data
locality.

I got 26 % performance increase on a 24 threads machine, with 200
concurrent netperf in TCP_RR mode, using a HTB hierarchy of 4 classes.
