Subject: [PATCH][Resend] rhashtable: make test actually random

The "random rhlist add/delete operations" actually wasn't very random, as all
cases tested the same bit. Since the later parts of this loop depend on the
first case execute this unconditionally, and then test on different bits for the
remaining tests. While at it only request as much random bits as are actually
used.
