Both xxhash() and hash_64() appear to give similarly low collision
rates with a standard linearly increasing readdir offset. They both give
similarly higher collision rates when applied to ext4's offsets.

So switch to using the standard hash_64().

I'm extremely grateful for this part! ;-)

While updating shmobile_defconfig, I was wondering why I was suddenly
asked about all those crypto drivers...
