Since we don't change the tuple in the original direction, we can save it
in ct->tuplehash[IP_CT_DIR_REPLY].hnode.pprev for __nf_conntrack_confirm()
use.

__hash_conntrack() is split into two steps: ____hash_conntrack() is used
to get the raw hash, and __hash_bucket() is used to get the bucket id.

In SYN-flood case, early_drop() doesn't need to recompute the hash again.

Signed-off-by: Changli Gao <xiaosuo@gmail.com>
---
v5: respin it due to the change of 1/2.
v4: init rnd when allocating conntrack.
v3: define static variable rnd out of the function ____hash_conntrack(),
    and call get_random_bytes() until we get a non-zero random int.
v2: use cmpxchg() to save 2 variables.

I like this idea. We could actually do the same for the reply tuple
and invalidate the saved hash in case the reply tuple is changed
(nf_conntrack_alter_reply()), which only happens when NAT is used.

This patch uses underscores a bit excessively, how about renaming:

- ____hash_conntrack() => hash_conntrack_raw()
- __hash variables => hash
- hash variables => bucket

Please try to stay at least close to the 80 characters limit.

We can't do that, as the unconfirmed ct owned maybe dropped, and
pre-computing will wast CPU cycles in this case.

Sure we can, dropping unconfirmed conntracks is a rare exception,
not a common case. Even under DoS we usually drop *unassured*
conntracks, which have already enterered the hash. If we're unable
to do that, we won't even allocate a new conntrack.

Even so, saving the hash of the reply tuple isn't a good idea.

If NAT is turned on, the current code is:

mangle the reply tuple -> compute the hash of the reply tuple ->
insert into the conntrack hash table.

the new code is

compute the hash of the reply tuple -> mangle the reply tuple ->
recompute the hash of the reply tuple -> insert into the conntrack
hash table.

As you see, the hash computing is done twice, and we use more CPU
cycles than before.

You're right of course, we actually don't compute the reply hash
before inserting the conntrack into the hash table (except in a
few NAT cases, but we can look at those later).
