[PATCH] dwarf_loader: use a better hashing function

[Bill Wendling <morbo@xxxxxxxxxx>]

This hashing function[1] produces better hash table bucket
distributions. The original hashing function always produced zeros in
the three least significant bits.

The new hashing funciton gives a modest performance boost.

      Original      New
       0:11.41       0:11.38
       0:11.36       0:11.34
       0:11.35       0:11.26
      -----------------------
  Avg: 0:11.373      0:11.327

for a performance improvement of 0.4%.
