    rhashtable: fix for resize events during table walk · 142b942a
    Phil Sutter authored
    If rhashtable_walk_next detects a resize operation in progress, it jumps
    to the new table and continues walking that one. But it misses to drop
    the reference to it's current item, leading it to continue traversing
    the new table's bucket in which the current item is sorted into, and
    after reaching that bucket's end continues traversing the new table's
    second bucket instead of the first one, thereby potentially missing
    items.
    
    This fixes the rhashtable runtime test for me. Bug probably introduced
    by Herbert Xu's patch eddee5ba ("rhashtable: Fix walker behaviour during
    rehash") although not explicitly tested.
