Peter Wemm be1d4058eb Dramatically improve the **lame** nfs_hash(). This is based on the
Fowler / Noll / Vo Hash (http://www.isthe.com/chongo/tech/comp/fnv/).

This improves hash coverage a *massive* amount.  We were seeing one
set of machines that were using 0.84% of their 131072 entry nfsnode
hash buckets with maximum chain lengths of up to ~500 entries.  The
machine was spending nearly 100% of its time in 'system'.
A test with this has pushed the coverage from a few perCent up to 91%
utilization with a max chain length of 11.
