Subject: [PATCH] dev: use name hash for dev_seq_ops.

Instead of using the dev->next chain and trying to resync at each call to
dev_seq_start, use this hash and store bucket number and bucket offset in
seq->private field.

Tests revealed the following results for ifconfig > /dev/null
	* 1000 interfaces:
		* 0.114s without patch
		* 0.020s with patch
	* 3000 interfaces:
		* 0.489s without patch
		* 0.048s with patch
	* 5000 interfaces:
		* 1.363s without patch
		* 0.131s with patch

As one can notice the improvement is of 1 order of magnitude.
