Subject: [PATCH net-next 6/6] netfilter: conntrack: use siphash_4u64

From: Florian Westphal <fw@...len.de>

This function is used for every packet, siphash_4u64 is noticeably faster
than using local buffer + siphash:

Before:
  1.23%  kpktgend_0       [kernel.vmlinux]     [k] __siphash_unaligned
  0.14%  kpktgend_0       [nf_conntrack]       [k] hash_conntrack_raw
After:
  0.79%  kpktgend_0       [kernel.vmlinux]     [k] siphash_4u64
  0.15%  kpktgend_0       [nf_conntrack]       [k] hash_conntrack_raw

In the pktgen test this gives about ~2.4% performance improvement.
