Subject: [PATCH 8/8] net: Only do flow_dissector hash computation once per
 packet

Add sw_hash flag to skbuff to indicate that skb->hash was computed
from flow_dissector. This flag is checked in skb_get_hash to avoid
repeatedly trying to compute the hash (ie. in the case that no L4 hash
can be computed).
