netfilter: ipvs: Add Maglev hashing scheduler
Implements the Google's Maglev hashing algorithm as a IPVS scheduler. Basically it provides consistent hashing but offers some special features about disruption and load balancing. 1) minimal disruption: when the set of destinations changes, a connection will likely be sent to the same destination as it was before. 2) load balancing: each destination will receive an almost equal number of connections.
