Refactor searching and inserting into hashtabs to pave the way for converting hashtab_search() and hashtab_insert() to inline functions in the next patch. This will avoid indirect calls and allow the compiler to better optimize individual callers, leading to a significant performance improvement. In order to avoid the indirect calls, the key hashing and comparison callbacks need to be extracted from the hashtab struct and passed directly to hashtab_search()/_insert() by the callers so that the callback address is always known at compile time. The kernel's rhashtable library (<linux/rhashtable*.h>) does the same thing. This of course makes the hashtab functions slightly easier to misuse by passing a wrong callback set, but unfortunately there is no better way to implement a hash table that is both generic and efficient in C. This patch tries to somewhat mitigate this by only calling the hashtab functions in the same file where the corresponding callbacks are defined (wrapping them into more specialized functions as needed). Note that this patch doesn't bring any benefit without also moving the definitions of hashtab_search() and -_insert() to the header file, which is done in a follow-up patch for easier review of the hashtab.c changes in this patch.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
