rculfhash: remove helper scheme

There is a trade-off to consider here:
- The helper scheme would require the helpers to allocate the memory for
  dummy nodes themself for correctness (the current implementation is
  buggy because lookups consider an half-linked dummy node to be ready for
  use), which does not work with a cache-efficient per-level array of
  dummy nodes.
- We want cache-efficiency, so we want to keep the per-level array
  allocation.

Therefore, letting insert/removal/lookups help expand is not the way to
go here. This patch removes the helping scheme.
