Subject: [PATCH] lib/rhashtable: Fix work initialization in rhashtable_init()

The test_insert_dup() function from lib/test_rhashtable.c passes a
pointer to a stack object to rhltable_init(). Avoid that the following
is reported with object debugging enabled while running the selftest
from lib/test_rhashtable.c:

ODEBUG: object (ptrval) is on stack (ptrval), but NOT annotated.
