ipv6: switch inet6_addr_hash() to less predictable hash

Browse Source 
In commit 3f27fb2321 ("ipv6: addrconf: add per netns perturbation
in inet6_addr_hash()"), I added net_hash_mix() in inet6_addr_hash()
to get better hash dispersion, at a time all netns were sharing the
hash table.

Since then, commit 21a216a8fc ("ipv6/addrconf: allocate a per
netns hash table") made the hash table per netns.

We could remove the net_hash_mix() from inet6_addr_hash(), but
there is still an issue with ipv6_addr_hash().

It is highly predictable and a malicious user can easily create
thousands of IPv6 addresses all stored in the same hash bucket.

Switch to __ipv6_addr_jhash(). We could use a dedicated
secret, or reuse net_hash_mix() as I did in this patch.
