rculfhash: avoid unneed garbage collect

[ Edit by Mathieu Desnoyers:

If we have a concurrent removal executing while the add is performed,
I just want to ensure we agree that this scenario will be correct:

1) removal succeeds. We have flagged
   a node as "logically removed", but
   it is still in the linked list.

2) garbage collection is initiated.

                                        3) add succeeds. We insert a
                                           node with reverse hash value
                                           higher than the logically
                                           removed node. This means the
                                           add takes care of garbage
                                           collecting the logically
                                           removed node prior to adding
                                           the new node.

4) garbage collection of logically
   removed node fails
   (we ignore the return value of
    (void) uatomic_cmpxchg(&iter_prev->p.next, iter, new_next);)
   retry and iterate until we find the reverse
   hash value higher than the logically
   remove node.

So I think this is OK: given that the add path takes care of garbage
collecting any logically removed node located prior to the insert
position, we don't need to perform gargage collection after the
insertion. ]
