[NETFILTER]: non-power-of-two jhash optimizations
Apply Eric Dumazet's jhash optimizations where applicable. Quoting Eric: Thanks to jhash, hash value uses full 32 bits. Instead of returning hash % size (implying a divide) we return the high 32 bits of the (hash * size) that will give results between [0 and size-1] and same hash distribution. On most cpus, a multiply is less expensive than a divide, by an order of magnitude. Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
