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)

* Various parts of the networking layer expect at least 32 bytes of
* headroom, you should not reduce this.
* With RPS, we raised NET_SKB_PAD to 64 so that get_rps_cpus() fetches span
* a 64 bytes aligned block to fit modern (>= 64 bytes) cache line sizes
