Reorder members in the `ltc2497_chip_info` and `ltc2497core_driverdata`
structs to eliminate memory holes identified by the `pahole` tool.
Confirm via the `bloat-o-meter` that this change has no significant
impact on the final code size:
| Object File | Total Size Change |
|-----------------|-------------------|
| ltc2497-core.o | 0 (0.00%) |
| ltc2497.o | +2 (+0.10%) |
| ltc2496.o | 0 (0.00%) |

The driverdata is allocated via iio_priv() so has a bunch of additional alignment rules applied and is on the end of another larger allocation. I suspect that completely hides the advantages in closing the holes up. The chip_info one is a bit more convincing as that's static const stuff and maybe it ends up packing a little better. Anyhow, let us see what Andy thinks.
