ipv4: avoid quadratic behavior in netns dismantle

net/ipv4/fib_semantics.c uses an hash table of 256 slots,
keyed by device ifindexes: fib_info_devhash[DEVINDEX_HASHSIZE]

Problem is that with network namespaces, devices tend
to use the same ifindex.

lo device for instance has a fixed ifindex of one,
for all network namespaces.

This means that hosts with thousands of netns spend
a lot of time looking at some hash buckets with thousands
of elements, notably at netns dismantle.

Simply add a per netns perturbation (net_hash_mix())
to spread elements more uniformely.

Also change fib_devindex_hashfn() to use more entropy.
