With struct sched_entity before the other sched entities, its alignment
won't induce a struct hole. This saves 64 bytes in defconfig task_struct:

Before:
	...
        unsigned int               rt_priority;          /*   120     4 */

        /* XXX 4 bytes hole, try to pack */

        /* --- cacheline 2 boundary (128 bytes) --- */
        const struct sched_class  * sched_class;         /*   128     8 */

        /* XXX 56 bytes hole, try to pack */

        /* --- cacheline 3 boundary (192 bytes) --- */
        struct sched_entity        se __attribute__((__aligned__(64))); /*   192   448 */
        /* --- cacheline 10 boundary (640 bytes) --- */
        struct sched_rt_entity     rt;                   /*   640    48 */
        struct sched_dl_entity     dl __attribute__((__aligned__(8))); /*   688   224 */
        /* --- cacheline 14 boundary (896 bytes) was 16 bytes ago --- */

After:
	...
        unsigned int               rt_priority;          /*   120     4 */

        /* XXX 4 bytes hole, try to pack */

        /* --- cacheline 2 boundary (128 bytes) --- */
        struct sched_entity        se __attribute__((__aligned__(64))); /*   128   448 */
        /* --- cacheline 9 boundary (576 bytes) --- */
        struct sched_rt_entity     rt;                   /*   576    48 */
        struct sched_dl_entity     dl __attribute__((__aligned__(8))); /*   624   224 */
        /* --- cacheline 13 boundary (832 bytes) was 16 bytes ago --- */

Summary diff:
-	/* size: 7040, cachelines: 110, members: 188 */
+	/* size: 6976, cachelines: 109, members: 188 */
