rhashtable: Fix rhashtable_remove failures

The commit 9d901bc051 ("rhashtable:
Free bucket tables asynchronously after rehash") causes gratuitous
failures in rhashtable_remove.

The reason is that it inadvertently introduced multiple rehashing
from the perspective of readers.  IOW it is now possible to see
more than two tables during a single RCU critical section.

Fortunately the other reader rhashtable_lookup already deals with
this correctly thanks to c4db8848af
("rhashtable: rhashtable: Move future_tbl into struct bucket_table")
so only rhashtable_remove is broken by this change.

This patch fixes this by looping over every table from the first
one to the last or until we find the element that we were trying
to delete.

Incidentally the simple test for detecting rehashing to prevent
starting another shrinking no longer works.  Since it isn't needed
anyway (the work queue and the mutex serves as a natural barrier
to unnecessary rehashes) I've simply killed the test.
