A group of security researchers brought to our attention
the weakness of hash function used in rt6_exception_hash()

Lets use siphash instead of Jenkins Hash, to considerably
reduce security risks.

Following patch deals with IPv4.

Fixes: 35732d01fe31 ("ipv6: introduce a hash table to store dst cache")

Thanks Eric!
