net: Increase NET_SKB_PAD to 64 bytes
eth_type_trans() & get_rps_cpus() currently need two 64bytes cache
lines in packet to compute rxhash.
Increasing NET_SKB_PAD from 32 to 64 reduces the need to one cache
line only, and makes RPS faster.
NET_IP_ALIGN(2) + ethernet_header(14) + IP_header(20/40) + ports(8)
