David Howells e8a07c9d22 fscache: Implement a hash function
Implement a function to generate hashes.  It needs to be stable over time
and endianness-independent as the hashes will appear on disk in future
patches.  It can assume that its input is a multiple of four bytes in size
and alignment.

This is borrowed from the VFS and simplified.  le32_to_cpu() is added to
make it endianness-independent.

Changes
=======
ver #3:
 - Read the data being hashed in an endianness-independent way[1].
 - Change the size parameter to be in bytes rather than words.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
