[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.
