ipv6: use a stronger hash for tcp
[ Upstream commit 08dcdbf6a7b9d14c2302c5bd0c5390ddf122f664 ] It looks like its possible to open thousands of TCP IPv6 sessions on a server, all landing in a single slot of TCP hash table. Incoming packets have to lookup sockets in a very long list. We should hash all bits from foreign IPv6 addresses, using a salt and hash mix, not a simple XOR. inet6_ehashfn() can also separately use the ports, instead of xoring them.
