No need to align struct inet_ehash_bucket on a 8 bytes boundary.
On 32 bits Uniprocessor, that's a waste of 4 bytes per struct (50 %)
On other platforms, the attribute is useless, natual alignement is already 8.
platform | Size before | Size after patch

32 bits, UP | 8 | 4
32 bits, SMP | 8 | 8
64 bits, UP | 8 | 8
64 bits, SMP | 16 | 16
