rhashtable: Avoid bucket cross reference after removal
During a resize, when two buckets in the larger table map to a single bucket in the smaller table and the new table has already been (partially) linked to the old table. Removal of an element may result the bucket in the larger table to point to entries which all hash to a different value than the bucket index. Thus causing two buckets to point to the same sub chain after unzipping. This is not illegal *during* the resize phase but after it has completed. Keep the old table around until all of the unzipping is done to allow the removal code to only search for matching hashed entries during this special period.
