rhashtable: Do not schedule more than one rehash if we can't grow further
The current code currently only stops inserting rehashes into the
chain when no resizes are currently scheduled. As long as resizes
are scheduled and while inserting above the utilization watermark,
more and more rehashes will be scheduled.
This lead to a perfect DoS storm with thousands of rehashes
scheduled which lead to thousands of spinlocks to be taken
sequentially.
Instead, only allow either a series of resizes or a single rehash.
Drop any further rehashes and return -EBUSY.
Fixes: ccd57b1bd324 ("rhashtable: Add immediate rehash during insertion")
