selinux: improve role transition hashing
The number of buckets is calculated by performing a binary AND against
the mask of the hash table, which is one less than its size (which is a
power of two). This leads to all top bits being discarded, e.g. with
the Reference Policy on Debian there exists 376 entries, leading to a
size of 512, discarding the top 23 bits.
Use jhash to improve the hash table utilization:
# current
roletr: 376 entries and 124/512 buckets used,
longest chain length 8, sum of chain length^2 1496
# patch
roletr: 376 entries and 266/512 buckets used,
longest chain length 4, sum of chain length^2 646
