Resolve the following FutureWarning raised in dask_cudf when using safe_hash:

FutureWarning: The `hash_columns` method will be removed in a future cuDF release. Replace `df.hash_columns(columns, method)` with `df[columns].hash_values(method)`.

This blocks Dask-CUDA CI, as we're following a strict policy towards deprecation warnings.
