rhashtable: fix for resize events during table walk
If rhashtable_walk_next detects a resize operation in progress, it jumps to the new table and continues walking that one. But it misses to drop the reference to it's current item, leading it to continue traversing the new table's bucket in which the current item is sorted into, and after reaching that bucket's end continues traversing the new table's second bucket instead of the first one, thereby potentially missing items. This fixes the rhashtable runtime test for me. Bug probably introduced by Herbert Xu's patch eddee5ba ("rhashtable: Fix walker behaviour during rehash") although not explicitly tested.
