Seems like we need to drop might_sleep_if() from kvfree().

	rcu_read_lock()
		rhashtable_insert_rehash()
			new_tbl = bucket_table_alloc(ht, size, GFP_ATOMIC | __GFP_NOWARN);
				->kvmalloc();

		bucket_table_free(new_tbl);
			->kvfree()
	rcu_read_unlock()

kvmalloc(..., GFP_ATOMIC) simply always kmalloc:
	if ((flags & GFP_KERNEL) != GFP_KERNEL)
		return kmalloc_node(size, flags, node);

So in the above case, kvfree() always frees kmalloced memory -> and never calls vfree().
