  flow: Don't include ports of first fragments in hash

For a series of IP fragments, only the first packet includes the transport
header (TCP/UDP/SCTP) and the src/dst ports. By including these port
numbers in the hash, it may happen that a first fragment hashes to a
different value than subsequent packets, causing different packets from
the same flow to follow different paths. This in turn may result in
out-of-order delivery or failed reassembly. This patch excludes port
numbers from the hash calculation in case of IP fragmentation.
