slirp: Fix packet expiration
The two new variables "arp_requested" and "expiration_date" in the mbuf structure have been added after the variable-sized "m_dat_" array. The variables have to be added before the m_dat_ array instead. Without this patch, the expiration_date gets clobbered by code that accesses the m_dat_ array. I experienced this problem with the code in slirp/tftp.c: The tftp_send_data() function created a new packet with the m_get() function (which fills-in a default expiration_date value). Then the TFTP code cleared the data section of the packet, which accidentially also cleared the expiration_date. This zeroed expiration_date then finally causes the packet to be discarded during if_start(), so that TFTP packets were not transmitted anymore.
