[PATCH] net: fold network name hash (v2)

[Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@vyatta.com>]

The full_name_hash does not produce a value that is evenly distributed
over the lower 8 bits. This causes name hash to be unbalanced with large
number of names. There is a standard function to fold in upper bits
so use that.

This is independent of possible improvements to full_name_hash()
in future.
