If all of the entropy is in the local and foreign addresses,
but xor'ing together would cancel out that entropy, the
current hash performs poorly.
Suggested by Cosmin Ratiu:
Basically, the situation is as follows: There is a client
machine and a server machine. Both create 15000 virtual
interfaces, open up a socket for each pair of interfaces and
do SIP traffic. By profiling I noticed that there is a lot of
time spent walking the established hash chains with this
particular setup.
The addresses were distributed like this: client interfaces
were 198.18.0.1/16 with increments of 1 and server interfaces
were 198.18.128.1/16 with increments of 1. As I said, there
were 15000 interfaces. Source and destination ports were 5060
for each connection. So in this case, ports don't matter for
hashing purposes, and the bits from the address pairs used
cancel each other, meaning there are no differences in the
whole lot of pairs, so they all end up in the same hash chain.

UDP currently uses skb->dev->ifindex which may provide the wrong
information when the socket bound to a specific interface.
This patch makes inet_iif() accessible to UDP and makes UDP use it.
The scenario we are trying to fix is when a client is running on
the same system and the server and both client and server bind to
a non-loopback device.

The days are gone when this was not an issue, there are folks out
there with huge bot networks that can be used to attack the
established hash tables on remote systems.
So just like the routing cache and connection tracking
hash, use Jenkins hash with random secret input.

The value is_setbyuser from struct ip_options is never used and set
only one time (http://linux-net.osdl.org/index.php/TODO#IPV4).
This little patch removes it from the kernel source.

To help in reducing the number of include dependencies, several files were
touched as they were getting needed headers indirectly for stuff they use.
Thanks also to Alan Menegotto for pointing out that net/dccp/proto.c had
linux/dccp.h include twice.
