ipv6: use a stronger hash for tcp
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.
