The rol32 call is currently rotating hash but the rol'd value is
being discarded. I believe the current code is incorrect and hash
should be assigned the rotated value returned from rol32.

Detected by CoverityScan, CID#1468411 ("Useless call")

Fixes: b5facfdba14c ("ipv6: sr: Compute flowlabel for outer IPv6 header of seg6 encap mode")

Good catch, thanks !

In that case, the same issue is present in include/net/ipv6.h:ip6_make_flowlabel().
