No need to export rht_obj(), all inner to outer object translations
occur internally. It was intended to be used with rht_for_each() which
now primarily serves as the iterator for rhashtable_remove_pprev() to
effectively flush and free the full table.

Properly annotate next pointers as access is RCU protected in
the lookup path.

Generic implementation of a resizable, scalable, concurrent hash table
based on [0]. The implementation supports both, fixed size keys specified
via an offset and length, or arbitrary keys via own hash and compare
functions.
Lookups are lockless and protected as RCU read side critical sections.
Automatic growing/shrinking based on user configurable watermarks is
available while allowing concurrent lookups to take place.
Objects to be hashed must include a struct rhash_head. The reason for not
using the existing struct hlist_head is that the expansion and shrinking
will have two buckets point to a single entry which would lead in obscure
reverse chaining behaviour.
Code includes a boot selftest if CONFIG_TEST_RHASHTABLE is defined.
