procfs: reorder struct pid_dentry to save space on 64bit archs, and constify them

Change the order of fields of struct pid_entry (file fs/proc/base.c) in order
to avoid a hole on 64bit archs.  (8 bytes saved per object)

Also change all pid_entry arrays to be const qualified, to make clear they
must not be modified.

Before (on x86_64) :

# size fs/proc/base.o
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
  15549    2192       0   17741    454d fs/proc/base.o

After :

# size fs/proc/base.o
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
  17229     176       0   17405    43fd fs/proc/base.o

Thats 336 bytes saved on kernel size on x86_64
