rhashtable: move dereference inside rht_ptr()
Rather than dereferencing a pointer to a bucket and then passing the
result to rht_ptr(), we now pass in the pointer and do the dereference
in rht_ptr().
This requires that we pass in the tbl and hash as well to support RCU
checks, and means that the various rht_for_each functions can expect a
pointer that can be dereferenced without further care.
There are two places where we dereference a bucket pointer
where there is no testable protection - in each case we know
that we much have exclusive access without having taken a lock.
The previous code used rht_dereference() to pretend that holding
the mutex provided protects, but holding the mutex never provides
protection for accessing buckets.
So instead introduce rht_ptr_exclusive() that can be used when
there is known to be exclusive access without holding any locks.
