inetpeer: lower false sharing effect
Profiles show false sharing in addr_compare() because refcnt/dtime changes dirty the first inet_peer cache line, where are lying the keys used at lookup time. If many cpus are calling inet_getpeer() and inet_putpeer(), or need frag ids, addr_compare() is in 2nd position in "perf top".
