uint32_t namei_hash(const char *p, const char **ep)
which determines the equivalent MI hash32_str() hash for p.
If *ep != NULL, calculate the hash to the character before ep.
If *ep == NULL, calculate the has to the first / or NUL found, and
point *ep to that location.
- Use namei_hash() to calculate cn_hash in lookup() and relookup().
Hash distribution goes from 35-40% to 55-70%, with similar profiled
time spent in cache_lookup() and cache_enter() on my P3-600.
- Use namei_hash() to calculate cn_hash in nfs_readdirplusrpc(),
insetad of homegrown code (that differed from that in lookup() !)
namei_hash() has better spread and is faster than previous code
(which used a non-constant multiplication).
