rhashtable: avoid large lock-array allocations
Sander reports following splat after netfilter nat bysrc table got
converted to rhashtable:
swapper/0: page allocation failure: order:3, mode:0x2084020(GFP_ATOMIC|__GFP_COMP)

The failure happens when allocating the spinlock array.
Even with GFP_KERNEL its unlikely for such a large allocation
to succeed.
Thomas Graf pointed me at inet_ehash_locks_alloc(), so in addition
to adding NOWARN for atomic allocations this also makes the bucket-array
sizing more conservative.
In commit 095dc8e0c3686 ("tcp: fix/cleanup inet_ehash_locks_alloc()"),
Eric Dumazet says: "Budget 2 cache lines per cpu worth of 'spinlocks'".
IOW, consider size needed by a single spinlock when determining
number of locks per cpu. So with 64 byte per cacheline and 4 byte per
spinlock this gives 32 locks per cpu.
Resulting size of the lock-array (sizeof(spinlock) == 4):
cpus: 1 2 4 8 16 32 64
old: 1k 1k 4k 8k 16k 16k 16k
new: 128 256 512 1k 2k 4k 8k
8k allocation should have decent chance of success even
with GFP_ATOMIC, and should not fail with GFP_KERNEL.
With 72-byte spinlock (LOCKDEP):
cpus : 1 2
old: 9k 18k
new: ~2k ~4k
