Subject: [PATCH 2/3] rhashtable: Add rhashtable_walk_curr

When iterating through an rhashtable is stopped with
rhashtable_walk_stop and then resumed with rhashtable_walk_start, there
currently is no way to get back to the current object and thus revisit
the object rhashtable_walk_next has previously returned.

This functionality is useful when dumping an rhashtable via the seq file
interface: seq_read will convert one object after the other.  When an
object doesn't fit in the remaining buffer space anymore, user-space
will be returned all objects that have been fully converted so far.
Upon the next read from user-space, the object that didn't fit
previously will be revisited.
