From: Paul Blakey paulb@mellanox.com
[ Upstream commit d3dcf8eb615537526bd42ff27a081d46d337816e ]
When inserting duplicate objects (those with the same key), current rhlist implementation messes up the chain pointers by updating the bucket pointer instead of prev next pointer to the newly inserted node. This causes missing elements on removal and travesal.
Fix that by properly updating pprev pointer to point to the correct rhash_head next pointer.
