sparc64: optimize loads in clock_sched()
In clock sched we now have three loads:
- Function pointer
- quotient for multiplication
- offset
However, it is possible to improve performance substantially, by
guaranteeing that all three loads are from the same cacheline.
By moving these three values first in sparc64_tick_ops, and by having
tick_operations 64-byte aligned we guarantee this.
