[PATCH 1/5] net: Don't use ifindices in hash fns

[Pavel Emelyanov <xemul@parallels.com>]

Eric noticed, that when there will be devices with equal indices, some
hash functions that use them will become less effective as they could.

Fix this in advance by taking the net_device address into calculations
instead of the device index. Since the net_device is always aligned in
memory, shift the pointer to eliminate always zero bits (like we do it
in net_hash_mix).

This is true for arp and ndisc hash fns. The netlabel, can and llc ones
are also ifindex-based, but that three are init_net-only, thus will not
be affected.
