Netlink sockets are maintained in a hash table to allow efficient lookup
via the port ID for unicast messages. However, lookups currently require
a read lock to be taken. This series adds a new generic, resizable,
scalable, concurrent hash table based on the paper referenced in the first
patch. It then makes use of the new data type to implement lockless
netlink_lookup().

Against net-next since the initial user of the new hash table is in net/
