CONFIG_RPS can be on, but skb->rxhash still 0 by default on tg3 for
example.

get_rps_cpu() wont call skb_get_rxhash() if RPS/RFS is not setup on
rxqueue (rps_map == NULL and rps_flow_table = NULL)

You really have to call skb_get_rxhash() yourself to make sure rxhash is
set (if not already done)

Just replace   skb->rxhash by skb_get_rxhash(skb)
