rhashtable_init() allocates memory at the very end of the
call, once everything is setup; with the exception of the
nelems parameter. However, unless the user is doing something
bogus with params for which -EINVAL is returned, memory
allocation is the only operation that can trigger the call
to fail.

Thus move bucket_table_alloc() up such that we fail back to
the caller asap, instead of doing useless checks. This is
safe as the the table allocation isn't using the halfly
setup 'ht' structure and bucket_table_alloc() call chain only
ends up using the ht->nulls_base member in INIT_RHT_NULLS_HEAD.

Also move the locking initialization down to the end.
