nft_hash: Remove rhashtable_remove_pprev()

The removal function of nft_hash currently stores a reference to the
previous element during lookup which is used to optimize removal later
on. This was possible because a lock is held throughout calling
rhashtable_lookup() and rhashtable_remove().

With the introdution of deferred table resizing in parallel to lookups
and insertions, the nftables lock will no longer synchronize all
table mutations and the stored pprev may become invalid.

Removing this optimization makes removal slightly more expensive on
average but allows taking the resize cost out of the insert and
remove path.
