fs: pack struct file

Now that we shrunk struct file to 192 bytes aka 3 cachelines reorder
struct file to not leave any holes or have members cross cachelines.

Add a short comment to each of the fields and mark the cachelines.
It's possible that we may have to tweak this based on profiling in the
future. So far I had Jens test this comparing io_uring with non-fixed
and fixed files and it improved performance. The layout is a combination
of Jens' and my changes.
