Merge branch 'rhashtable-dups'

Herbert Xu says:

====================
rhashtable: rhashtable with duplicate objects

v3 fixes a bug in the remove path that causes the element count
to decrease when it shouldn't, leading to a gigantic hash table
when it underflows.

v2 contains a reworked insertion slowpath to ensure that the
spinlock for the table we're inserting into is taken.

This series contains two patches.  The first adds the rhlist
interface and the second converts mac80211 to use it.  If this
works out I'll then proceed to convert the other insecure_elasticity
users over to this.

I've tested the rhlist code with test_rhashtable but I haven't
tested the mac80211 conversion.  So please give it a go and see
if it still works.
