NeilBrown c0690016a7 rhashtable: clean up dereference of ->future_tbl.
Using rht_dereference_bucket() to dereference
->future_tbl looks like a type error, and could be confusing.
Using rht_dereference_rcu() to test a pointer for NULL
adds an unnecessary barrier - rcu_access_pointer() is preferred
for NULL tests when no lock is held.

This uses 3 different ways to access ->future_tbl.
- if we know the mutex is held, use rht_dereference()
- if we don't hold the mutex, and are only testing for NULL,
  use rcu_access_pointer()
- otherwise (using RCU protection for true dereference),
  use rht_dereference_rcu().

Note that this includes a simplification of the call to
rhashtable_last_table() - we don't do an extra dereference
before the call any more.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
