Instead of your patch, please revert the original change that
added kvmalloc to rhashtable:

commit 93f976b5190df32793908d49165f78e67fcb66cf
Author: Davidlohr Bueso <dave@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
Date:   Tue Aug 21 22:01:45 2018 -0700

    lib/rhashtable: simplify bucket_table_alloc()

The newly added alloc_hooks_tag call should go after the if statement.

This patch should also be split out of your series and posted to
linux-crypto.

Thanks,
