Integer overflow is intentional, silence the sanitizer. It works
completely reliably on sane compilers and architectures.

Sgtm, I guess my only question, was there a reason for not using e.g. __u64 in
the first place? Meaning, __u64 hash_combine(__u64 h, __u64 value) plus the
call-sites where you have h variable re-feeding into hash_combine().
Given the remainder of the series is all straight forward, I took that in already,
but would still be nice if we can silence the sanitizer complaint w/o such attribute
workaround.

Thanks,
Daniel
