Grabbing the spinlock for every bucket even if it's empty, was causing significant perfomance cost when traversing htab maps that have only a few entries. This patch addresses the issue by checking first the bucket_cnt, if the bucket has some entries then we go and grab the spinlock and proceed with the batching. Tested with a htab of size 50K and different value of populated entries.

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.
