netfilter: conntrack: don't fold port numbers into addresses before hashing

Originally this used jhash2() over tuple and folded the zone id,
the pernet hash value, destination port and l4 protocol number into the
32bit seed value.

When the switch to siphash was done, I used an on-stack temporary
buffer to build a suitable key to be hashed via siphash().

But this showed up as performance regression, so I got rid of
the temporary copy and collected to-be-hashed data in 4 u64 variables.

This makes it easy to build tuples that produce the same hash, which isn't
desirable even though chain lengths are limited.

Switch back to plain siphash, but just like with jhash2(), take advantage
of the fact that most of to-be-hashed data is already in a suitable order.

Use an empty struct as annotation in 'struct nf_conntrack_tuple' to mark
last member that can be used as hash input.

The only remaining data that isn't present in the tuple structure are the
zone identifier and the pernet hash: fold those into the key.
