netns: provide pure entropy for net_hash_mix()
BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1828420 [ Upstream commit 355b9855 ] net_hash_mix() currently uses kernel address of a struct net, and is used in many places that could be used to reveal this address to a patient attacker, thus defeating KASLR, for the typical case (initial net namespace, &init_net is not dynamically allocated) I believe the original implementation tried to avoid spending too many cycles in this function, but security comes first. Also provide entropy regardless of CONFIG_NET_NS.
