[PATCH] lib/rhashtable: make build optional

[Aristeu Rozanski]

From: Aristeu Rozanski <arozansk@xxxxxxxxxx>

rhashtable currently is built unconditionally:
	text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
	9158    2008    5264   16430    402e lib/rhashtable.o
	9158    2008    5264   16430    402e (TOTALS)

and it's used by netlink (which currently can't be optionally built if
CONFIG_NET is enabled) and netfilter_hash. This patch is useful for
situations in which memory footprint is a concern and networking is not
enabled.
