rhashtable: avoid large lock-array allocations 

Sander reports following splat after netfilter nat bysrc table got
converted to rhashtable:

swapper/0: page allocation failure: order:3, mode:0x2084020(GFP_ATOMIC|__GFP_COMP)
 CPU: 0 PID: 0 Comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 4.8.0-rc1 [..]

The failure happens when allocating the spinlock array.
Even with GFP_KERNEL its unlikely for such a large allocation
to succeed.

Thomas Graf pointed me at inet_ehash_locks_alloc(), so in addition
to adding NOWARN for atomic allocations this also makes the bucket-array
sizing more conservative.

In commit 095dc8e0c3 ("tcp: fix/cleanup inet_ehash_locks_alloc()"),
Eric Dumazet says: "Budget 2 cache lines per cpu worth of 'spinlocks'".
IOW, consider size needed by a single spinlock when determining
number of locks per cpu.  So with 64 byte per cacheline and 4 byte per
spinlock this gives 32 locks per cpu.

Resulting size of the lock-array (sizeof(spinlock) == 4):

cpus:    1   2   4   8   16   32   64
old:    1k  1k  4k  8k  16k  16k  16k
new:   128 256 512  1k   2k   4k   8k

8k allocation should have decent chance of success even
with GFP_ATOMIC, and should not fail with GFP_KERNEL.

With 72-byte spinlock (LOCKDEP):
cpus :   1   2
old:    9k 18k
new:   ~2k ~4k
