Further reduce the size of net_bridge with 8 bytes and reduce the number of
holes in it:
 Before: holes: 5, sum holes: 15
 After: holes: 2, sum holes: 3

Also as a bonus we get offload_fwd_mark in the first cache line and remove
the need to pull the last cache line of net_bridge just for that member in
fast path (should_deliver -> nbp_switchdev_allowed_egress).
But nbp_switchdev_allowed_egress() compares with 'offload_fwd_mark' from
'net_bridge_port', not 'net_bridge'...
ha, right you are! I need to check my glasses :) Anyway, I'll correct my
commit message and resend v2. We can leave the net_bridge mark in the
end, there're 4 bytes there anyway.

I was thinking of net_bridge_port, but that is a different patch-set I
have. Apparently I've mixed the commit messages.

Thanks!
