vmalloc: align nr_vmalloc_pages and vmap_lazy_nr

Currently both atomics share one cache-line:

<snip>
...
ffffffff83eab400 b vmap_lazy_nr
ffffffff83eab408 b nr_vmalloc_pages
...
<snip>

those are global variables and they are only 8 bytes apart.  Since they
are modified by different threads this causes a false sharing.  This can
lead to a performance drop due to unnecessary cache invalidations.

After this patch it is aligned to a cache line boundary:

<snip>
...
ffffffff8260a600 d vmap_lazy_nr
ffffffff8260a640 d nr_vmalloc_pages
...
<snip>
