[PATCH nf-next v4 01/13] rhashtable: add rhashtable_flush_and_free helper

Will be used by upcoming ipset rhashtable conversion.

"walk rht with unlink+free" triggers LLM reject pattern:
"possible softirq CPU stall".

"walk rht with unlink+free + cond_resched" triggers
"possibly skipped elements".

Add a helper to detach current hash backend storage from the
rhashtable, then iterate and flush all contained elements.

 Herbert: If you prefer to take this via the crypto tree, please
 let me know.
 Otherwise, an explicit Ack would be appreciated, so this can
 be handled via nf-next.  Thanks.

 net/ipv6/ila/ could be converted to use this helper too.
