rhashtable: Fix walker behaviour during rehash
Previously whenever the walker encountered a resize it simply snaps back to the beginning and starts again. However, this only works if the rehash started and completed while the walker was idle. If the walker attempts to restart while the rehash is still ongoing, we may miss objects that we shouldn't have. This patch fixes this by making the walker walk the old table followed by the new table just like all other readers. If a rehash is detected we will still signal our caller of the fact so they can prepare for duplicates but we will simply continue the walk onto the new table after the old one is finished either by us or by the rehasher.
