1) struct ip6_flowlabel : moves 'users' field to avoid two 32bits
holes for 64bit arches. Shrinks by 8 bytes sizeof(struct
ip6_flowlabel)
2) ipv6_addr_cmp() and ipv6_addr_copy() dont need (void *) casts :
Compiler might take into account natural alignement of in6_addr
structs to emit better code for memcpy()/memcmp() Casts to (void *)
force byte accesses.
3) ipv6_addr_prefix() optimization :
Better to clear whole struct, as compiler can emit better code for
memset(addr, 0, 16) (2 stores on x86_64), and avoid some conditional
branches.
