bpf: Do not grab the bucket spinlock by default on htab batch ops

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.
