rhashtable: Fix use-after-free in rhashtable_walk_stop
The commit c4db8848af6af92f90462258603be844baeab44d ("rhashtable: Move future_tbl into struct bucket_table") introduced a use-after- free bug in rhashtable_walk_stop because it dereferences tbl after droping the RCU read lock. This patch fixes it by moving the RCU read unlock down to the bottom of rhashtable_walk_stop. In fact this was how I had it originally but it got dropped while rearranging patches because this one depended on the async freeing of bucket_table.
