Thomas and Phil observed that under stress rhashtable insertion sometimes failed with EBUSY, even though this error should only ever been seen when we're under attack and our hash chain length has grown to an unacceptable level, even after a rehash. It turns out that the logic for detecting whether there is an existing rehash is faulty. In particular, when two threads both try to grow the same table at the same time, one of them may see the newly grown table and thus erroneously conclude that it had been rehashed. This is what leads to the EBUSY error. This patch fixes this by remembering the current last table we used during insertion so that rhashtable_insert_rehash can detect when another thread has also done a resize/rehash. When this is detected we will give up our resize/rehash and simply retry the insertion with the new table.
