rhashtable: rhashtable with duplicate objects

v3 fixes a bug in the remove path that causes the element count
to decrease when it shouldn't, leading to a gigantic hash table
when it underflows.

v2 contains a reworked insertion slowpath to ensure that the
spinlock for the table we're inserting into is taken.

This series contains two patches.  The first adds the rhlist
interface and the second converts mac80211 to use it.  If this
works out I'll then proceed to convert the other insecure_elasticity
users over to this.

I've tested the rhlist code with test_rhashtable but I haven't
tested the mac80211 conversion.  So please give it a go and see
if it still works.
====================

mac80211 currently uses rhashtable with insecure_elasticity set
to true.  The latter is because of duplicate objects.  What's
more, mac80211 walks the rhashtable chains by hand which is broken
as rhashtable may contain multiple tables due to resizing or
rehashing.

This patch fixes it by converting it to the newly added rhltable
interface which is designed for use with duplicate objects.

With rhltable a lookup returns a list of objects instead of a
single one.  This is then fed into the existing for_each_sta_info
macro.

This patch also deletes the sta_addr_hash function since rhashtable
defaults to jhash.

The insecure_elasticity setting is an ugly wart brought out by
users who need to insert duplicate objects (that is, distinct
objects with identical keys) into the same table.

In fact, those users have a much bigger problem.  Once those
duplicate objects are inserted, they don't have an interface to
find them (unless you count the walker interface which walks
over the entire table).

Some users have resorted to doing a manual walk over the hash
table which is of course broken because they don't handle the
potential existence of multiple hash tables.  The result is that
they will break sporadically when they encounter a hash table
resize/rehash.

This patch provides a way out for those users, at the expense
of an extra pointer per object.  Essentially each object is now
a list of objects carrying the same key.  The hash table will
only see the lists so nothing changes as far as rhashtable is
concerned.

To use this new interface, you need to insert a struct rhlist_head
into your objects instead of struct rhash_head.  While the hash
table is unchanged, for type-safety you'll need to use struct
rhltable instead of struct rhashtable.  All the existing interfaces
have been duplicated for rhlist, including the hash table walker.

One missing feature is nulls marking because AFAIK the only potential
user of it does not need duplicate objects.  Should anyone need
this it shouldn't be too hard to add.

Small packet loss is reported on complex multi host network configurations
including tunnels, NAT, ... My investigation led me to the following check
in netback which drops packets:

        if (unlikely(txreq.size < ETH_HLEN)) {
                netdev_err(queue->vif->dev,
                           "Bad packet size: %d\n", txreq.size);
                xenvif_tx_err(queue, &txreq, extra_count, idx);
                break;
        }

But this check itself is legitimate. SKBs consist of a linear part (which
has to have the ethernet header) and (optionally) a number of frags.
Netfront transmits the head of the linear part up to the page boundary
as the first request and all the rest becomes frags so when we're
reconstructing the SKB in netback we can't distinguish between original
frags and the 'tail' of the linear part. The first SKB needs to be at
least ETH_HLEN size. So in case we have an SKB with its linear part
starting too close to the page boundary the packet is lost.

I see two ways to fix the issue:
- Change the 'wire' protocol between netfront and netback to start keeping
  the original SKB structure. We'll have to add a flag indicating the fact
  that the particular request is a part of the original linear part and not
  a frag. We'll need to know the length of the linear part to pre-allocate
  memory.
- Avoid transmitting SKBs with linear parts starting too close to the page
  boundary. That seems preferable short-term and shouldn't bring
  significant performance degradation as such packets are rare. That's what
  this patch is trying to achieve with skb_copy().

sched: convert queues to single-linked list

During Netfilter Workshop 2016 Eric Dumazet pointed out that qdisc
schedulers use doubly-linked lists, even though single-linked list
would be enough.

The double-linked skb lists incur one extra write on enqueue/dequeue
operations (to change ->prev pointer of next list elem).

This series converts qdiscs to single-linked version, listhead
maintains pointers to first (for dequeue) and last skb (for enqueue).

Most qdiscs don't queue at all and instead use a leaf qdisc (typically
pfifo_fast) so only a few schedulers needed changes.

I briefly tested netem and htb and they seemed fine.

UDP_STREAM netperf with 64 byte packets via veth+pfifo_fast shows
a small (~2%) improvement.
