[FIB]: full_children & empty_children should be uint, not ushort

If declared as unsigned short, these fields can overflow, and whole
trie logic is broken. I could not make the machine crash, but some
tnode can never be freed.

Note for 64 bit arches : By reordering t_key and parent in [node,
leaf, tnode] structures, we can use 32 bits hole after t_key so that
sizeof(struct tnode) doesnt change after this patch.
