net/ipv4/fib_semantics.c uses an hash table of 256 slots,
keyed by device ifindexes: fib_info_devhash[DEVINDEX_HASHSIZE]
Problem is that with network namespaces, devices tend
to use the same ifindex.
lo device for instance has a fixed ifindex of one,
for all network namespaces.
This means that hosts with thousands of netns spend
a lot of time looking at some hash buckets with thousands
of elements, notably at netns dismantle.
Simply add a per netns perturbation (net_hash_mix())
to spread elements more uniformely.
Also change fib_devindex_hashfn() to use more entropy.
Fixes: aa79e66 ("net: Make ifindex generation per-net namespace")
