When a connection is failing a transport protocol calls
dst_negative_advice to try to get a better route. This patch includes
changing the sk_txhash in that function. This provides a rudimentary
method to try to find a different path in the network since sk_txhash
affects ECMP on the local host and through the network (via flow labels
or UDP source port in encapsulation).
