    ms/ksm: replace jhash2 with xxhash
    
    Replace jhash2 with xxhash.
    
    Perf numbers:
    Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2420 v2 @ 2.20GHz
    ksm: crc32c   hash() 12081 MB/s
    ksm: xxh64    hash()  8770 MB/s
    ksm: xxh32    hash()  4529 MB/s
    ksm: jhash2   hash()  1569 MB/s
    
    Sioh Lee did some testing:
    
    crc32c_intel: 1084.10ns
    crc32c (no hardware acceleration): 7012.51ns
    xxhash32: 2227.75ns
    xxhash64: 1413.16ns
    jhash2: 5128.30ns
    
    As jhash2 always will be slower (for data size like PAGE_SIZE).  Don't use
    it in ksm at all.
    
    Use only xxhash for now, because for using crc32c, cryptoapi must be
    initialized first - that requires some tricky solution to work well in all
    situations.

    =====================
    Patchset description:
    
    ksm: Switch to xxhash hash algorithm
    
    xxhash shows better performance in comparison to currently
    used jhash2:
    
            ksm: xxh64 hash() 8770 MB/s
            ksm: xxh32 hash() 4529 MB/s
            ksm: jhash2 hash() 1569 MB/s
    
    Note, that algorithm module lib/xxhash.c is already in ms kernel [1/3],
    while [2-3/3] just make ksm to use it (but they also already in akpm tree).
    
    This should improve ksm performance in some way.
