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.
