Subject: [PATCH 1/2] rhashtable: fix insertion of in rhltable when duplicate
 found.

When rhltable_insert() finds an entry with the same key,
it splices the new entry at the start of a list of entries with the
same key.
It stores the address of the new object in *pprev, but in general this
is *not* the location where the match was found (though in a common
case where the hash chain has one element, it will be).
To fix this, pprev should be updated every time we find an object that
doesn't match.

This patch changes the behaviour for non-slow insertion in that now
insertion happens at the end of a chain rather than at the head.
I don't think this is an important change.
