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).

+ * Best-effort semantics:
+ *   - Across the tbl->future_tbl chain, an element being migrated may

+ *   - Concurrent inserts may or may not be observed.
+ *   - Termination of a full iteration loop is NOT guaranteed under
+ *     adversarial continuous rehash; callers MUST tolerate skips and
+ *     repeats and SHOULD bound their loop externally.
+ *   - Behavior on tables that contain duplicate keys is undefined:
+ *     duplicates may be skipped, repeated, or trap the walk in a
+ *     cycle. Callers requiring duplicate-key iteration must use
+ *     rhashtable_walk_*() instead.
+ *   - rhltable instances are not supported and return
+ *     ERR_PTR(-EOPNOTSUPP).
