3.16.50-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Ben Hutchings <b...@decadent.org.uk>
For the backport of "ipv4: add reference counting to metrics", we will
need a third flag on metrics pointers. This was not needed upstream
as the DST_METRICS_FORCE_OVERWRITE flag has been eliminated there.
In order to use three flag bits we need to increase the alignment of
metrics from 4 to 8 bytes.
