bpf: convert htab map to hlist_nulls
when all map elements are pre-allocated one cpu can delete and reuse htab_elem while another cpu is still walking the hlist. In such case the lookup may miss the element. Convert hlist to hlist_nulls to avoid such scenario. When bucket lock is taken there is no need to take such precautions, so only convert map_lookup and map_get_next to nulls. The race window is extremely small and only reproducible with explicit udelay() inside lookup_nulls_elem_raw() Similar to hlist add hlist_nulls_for_each_entry_safe() and hlist_nulls_entry_safe() helpers.
