Group some variables based on their sizes to reduce holes.
On x86_64, this shrinks the size of 'struct nf_conntrack_expect' from 264
to 256 bytes.
This structure deserve a dedicated cache, so reducing its size looks nice.

Thanks, this much nicer to me.
I slightly concerned that there may be implications for

But only very slightly.
