MDEV-23510: arm64 lf_hash alignment of pointers

volatile != atomic.

volatile has no memory barrier schemantics, its for mmaped IO
so lets allow some optimizer gains and stop pretending it helps
with memory atomicity.

The MDEV lists a SEGV an assumption is made that an address was
partially read. As C packs structs strictly in order and on arm64 the
cache line size is 128 bits. A pointer (link - 64 bits), followed
by a hashnr (uint32 - 32 bits), leaves the following key (uchar *
64 bits), neither naturally aligned to any pointer and worse, split
across a cache line which is the processors view of an atomic
reservation of memory.

lf_dynarray_lvalue is assumed to return a 64 bit aligned address.

As a solution move the 32bit hashnr to the end so we don't get the
*key pointer split across two cache lines.
