fscache: Implement a hash function
Implement a function to generate hashes. It needs to be stable over time and endianness-independent as the hashes will appear on disk in future patches. It can assume that its input is a multiple of four bytes in size and alignment. This is borrowed from the VFS and simplified. le32_to_cpu() is added to make it endianness-independent. Changes ======= ver #3: - Read the data being hashed in an endianness-independent way[1]. - Change the size parameter to be in bytes rather than words.
