[patch V3 13/18] posix-timers: Switch to jhash32()

[Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>]

The hash distribution of hash_32() is suboptimal. jhash32() provides a way
better distribution, which evens out the length of the hash bucket lists,
which in turn avoids large outliers in list walk times.

Due to the sparse ID space (thanks CRIU) there is no guarantee that the
timers will be fully evenly distributed over the hash buckets, but the
behaviour is way better than with hash_32() even for randomly sparse ID
spaces.

For a pathological test case with 64 processes creating and accessing
20000 timers each, this results in a runtime reduction of ~10% and a
significantly reduced runtime variation.
