struct timekeeper is ordered suboptimal vs. cachelines. The layout,
including the preceding seqcount (see struct tk_core in timekeeper.c) is:
cacheline 0: seqcount, tkr_mono
cacheline 1: tkr_raw, xtime_sec
cacheline 2: ktime_sec ... tai_offset, internal variables
cacheline 3: next_leap_ktime, raw_sec, internal variables
cacheline 4: internal variables
So any access to via ktime_get*() except for access to CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW
will use either cachelines 0 + 1 or cachelines 0 + 2. Access to
CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW uses cachelines 0 + 1 + 3.
Reorder the members so that the result is more efficient:
cacheline 0: seqcount, tkr_mono
cacheline 1: xtime_sec, ktime_sec ... tai_offset
cacheline 2: tkr_raw, raw_sec
cacheline 3: internal variables
cacheline 4: internal variables
That means ktime_get*() will access cacheline 0 + 1 and CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW
access will use cachelines 0 + 2.
Update kernel-doc and fix formatting issues while at it. Also fix a typo
in struct tk_read_base kernel-doc.
