jhash: Update jhash_[321]words functions to use correct initval
commit 2e7056c4 upstream. Looking over the implementation for jhash2 and comparing it to jhash_3words I realized that the two hashes were in fact very different. Doing a bit of digging led me to "The new jhash implementation" in which lookup2 was supposed to have been replaced with lookup3. In reviewing the patch I noticed that jhash2 had originally initialized a and b to JHASH_GOLDENRATIO and c to initval, but after the patch a, b, and c were initialized to initval + (length << 2) + JHASH_INITVAL. However the changes in jhash_3words simply replaced the initialization of a and b with JHASH_INITVAL. This change corrects what I believe was an oversight so that a, b, and c in jhash_3words all have the same value added consisting of initval + (length << 2) + JHASH_INITVAL so that jhash2 and jhash_3words will now produce the same hash result given the same inputs.
