Pull out string hash to <linux/stringhash.h>

... so they can be used without the rest of <linux/dcache.h>

The hashlen_* macros will make sense next patch.

+ * Routines for hashing strings of bytes to a 32-bit hash value.
+ *
+ * These hash functions are NOT GUARANTEED STABLE between kernel
+ * versions, architectures, or even repeated boots of the same kernel.
+ * (E.g. they may depend on boot-time hardware detection or be
+ * deliberately randomized.)
+ *
+ * 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.)

+ * unsigned long hash = init_name_hash;

+ * hash = end_name_hash(hash);
+ *
+ * Although this is designed for bytes, fs/hfsplus/unicode.c
+ * abuses it to hash 16-bit values.
