[ Upstream commit 408f13ef358aa5ad56dc6230c2c7deb92cf462b1 ]
As it stands if a shrink is delayed because of an outstanding
rehash, we will go into a rescheduling loop without ever doing
the rehash.
This patch fixes this by still carrying out the rehash and then
rescheduling so that we can shrink after the completion of the
rehash should it still be necessary.
The return value of EEXIST captures this case and other cases
(e.g., another thread expanded/rehashed the table at the same
time) where we should still proceed with the rehash.
Fixes: da20420f83ea ("rhashtable: Add nested tables")

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
