rhashtable: Free bucket tables asynchronously after rehash
There is in fact no need to wait for an RCU grace period in the rehash function, since all insertions are guaranteed to go into the new table through spin locks. This patch uses call_rcu to free the old/rehashed table at our leisure. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
