net: Optimize skb_tx_hash() by eliminating a comparison

Optimize skb_tx_hash() by eliminating a comparison that executes for
every packet. skb_tx_hashrnd initialization is moved to a later part of
the startup sequence, namely after the "random" driver is initialized.

Rebooted the system three times and verified that the code generates
different random numbers each time.
