Subject: [PATCH] lib: fix data race in rhashtable_rehash_one

rhashtable_rehash_one() uses plain writes to update entry->next,
while it is being concurrently accessed by readers.
Unfortunately, the compiler is within its rights to (for example) use
byte-at-a-time writes to update the pointer, which would fatally confuse
concurrent readers.

Use WRITE_ONCE to update entry->next in rhashtable_rehash_one().

The data race was found with KernelThreadSanitizer (KTSAN).
