inet: move icmp_global_{credit,stamp} to a separate cache line

icmp_global_credit was meant to be changed ~1000 times per second,
but if an admin sets net.ipv4.icmp_msgs_per_sec to a very high value,
icmp_global_credit changes can inflict false sharing to surrounding
fields that are read mostly.

Move icmp_global_credit and icmp_global_stamp to a separate
cacheline aligned group.

Fixes: b056b4cd9178 ("icmp: move icmp_global.credit and icmp_global.stamp to per netns storage")
