ipv6: use siphash in rt6_exception_hash()
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
A group of security researchers brought to our attention
the weakness of hash function used in rt6_exception_hash()

Lets use siphash instead of Jenkins Hash, to considerably
reduce security risks.

Following patch deals with IPv4.
