mm/vmscan.c: condense scan_control 

Use smaller scan_control fields for order, priority, and reclaim_idx.
Convert fields from int => s8.  All easily fit within a byte:

 - allocation order range: 0..MAX_ORDER(64?)
 - priority range:         0..12(DEF_PRIORITY)
 - reclaim_idx range:      0..6(__MAX_NR_ZONES)

Since 6538b8ea88 ("x86_64: expand kernel stack to 16K") x86_64 stack
overflows are not an issue.  But it's inefficient to use ints.

Use s8 (signed byte) rather than u8 to allow for loops like:
	do {
		...
	} while (--sc.priority >= 0);

Add BUILD_BUG_ON to verify that s8 is capable of storing max values.

This reduces sizeof(struct scan_control):
 - 96 => 80 bytes (x86_64)
 - 68 => 56 bytes (i386)

scan_control structure field order is changed to utilize padding.  After
this patch there is 1 bit of scan_control padding.

akpm: makes my vmscan.o's .text 572 bytes smaller as well.
