lib: fix data race in rhashtable_rehash_one
rhashtable_rehash_one() uses complex logic to update entry->next field, after INIT_RHT_NULLS_HEAD and NULLS_MARKER expansion: entry->next = 1 | ((base + off) << 1) This can be compiled along the lines of: entry->next = base + off entry->next <<= 1 entry->next |= 1 Which will break concurrent readers. NULLS value recomputation is not needed here, so just remove the complex logic. The data race was found with KernelThreadSanitizer (KTSAN).
