Mykyta Yatsenko 8f4fa9f89b rhashtable: Add rhashtable_next_key() API
Introduce a simpler iteration mechanism for rhashtable that lets
the caller continue from an arbitrary position by supplying the
previous key, without the per-iterator state of the
rhashtable_walk_* API.

  void *rhashtable_next_key(struct rhashtable *ht,
                            const void *prev_key);

Caller holds RCU; passes NULL prev_key for the first element or
the previously returned key to advance. Walks tbl->future_tbl
chain so in-flight rehashes are observed.

Best-effort: in case of concurrent resize, provides no guarantees:
 - may produce duplicate elements
 - may skip any amount of elements
 - termination of the loop is not guaranteed in case of
 sustained rehash. Callers are advised to bound loop externally
 or avoid inserting new elements during such loop.

Returns ERR_PTR(-ENOENT) if prev_key is not found.
Behavior on tables with duplicate keys is undefined.
rhltable is not supported — returns ERR_PTR(-EOPNOTSUPP).
