Zach Brown c3290771a0 Block cache use rht _lookup_ insert for EEXIST
The sneaky rhashtable_insert_fast() can't return -EEXIST despite the
last line of the function *REALLY* making it look like it can.  It just
inserts new objects at the head of the bucket lists without comparing
the insertion with existing objects.

The block cache was relying on insertion to resolve duplicate racing
allocated blocks.  Because it couldn't return -EEXIST we could get
duplicate cached blocks present in the hash table.

rhashtable_lookup_insert_fast() fixes this by actually comparing the
inserted objects key with the objects found in the insertion bucket.  A
racing allocator trying to insert a duplicate cached block will get an
error, drop their allocated block, and retry their lookup.
