George Spelvin 703b5faf22 fs/dcache.c: Save one 32-bit multiply in dcache lookup
Noe that we're mixing in the parent pointer earlier, we
don't need to use hash_32() to mix its bits.  Instead, we can
just take the msbits of the hash value directly.

For those applications which use the partial_name_hash(),
move the multiply to end_name_hash.

*
* They are also not intended to be secure against collisions caused by
* malicious inputs; much slower hash functions are required for that.
*
* They are optimized for pathname components, meaning short strings.
* Even if a majority of files have longer names, the dynamic profile of
* pathname components skews short due to short directory names.
* (E.g. /usr/lib/libsesquipedalianism.so.3.141.)
