I misread jhash2() implementation.

Last round should use __jhash_final() instead of __jhash_mix().

Using __jhash_mix() here leaves entropy distributed across a, b, and c,
which might lead to incomplete diffusion of the faddr and fport bits
into the bucket index. Replacing this last __jhash_mix() with
__jhash_final() provides the correct avalanche properties
for the returned value in c.
