In old kernels, NET_SKB_PAD was defined to 16.

Then commit d6301d3d (net: Increase default NET_SKB_PAD to 32), and
commit 18e8c134 (net: Increase NET_SKB_PAD to 64 bytes) increased it
to 64.

While first patch was governed by network stack needs, second was more
driven by performance issues on current hardware. Real intent was to
align data on a cache line boundary.

So use max(32, L1_CACHE_BYTES) instead of 64, to be more generic.

Remove microblaze and powerpc own NET_SKB_PAD definitions.

Thanks to Alexander Duyck and David Miller for their comments.
