Split out most of rht_key_hashfn which is calculating the hash into
its own function. This way the hash function can be called separately to
get the hash value.

I don't get this one.  You're just using jhash, right? Why not
call jhash directly instead of rht_get_key_hashfn?

FYI, there is a v2 of this series, just so you don't have to do the
work twice.

I understand this particular patch as an effort not to duplicate
hash function selection such as jhash vs jhash2 based on key_len.
