performance/io-cache: change the hash function used for rbtree based hash table.
- the earlier hash function does not distribute pages uniformly for offsets that fit into 32 bits. The reason is that the hash function just xors the contents of the key 4 bytes at a time with the current value of hash. Hence for keys that fit into 32 bits, the hash will be the key itself. Since we are using the rounded_offset (which is a multiple of 128KB) as the key, the key will be exactly divisible by the number of buckets configured (4096) resolving all the pages into the first bucket.
