Grabbing the spinlock for every bucket even if it's empty, was causing
significant perfomance cost when traversing htab maps that have only a
few entries. This patch addresses the issue by checking first the
bucket_cnt, if the bucket has some entries then we go and grab the
spinlock and proceed with the batching.
Tested with a htab of size 50K and different value of populated entries.

I must probably be missing something, but how is this safe? Presume we
traverse in the walk with bucket_cnt = 0. Meanwhile a different CPU added
entries to this bucket since not locked. Same reader on the other CPU with
bucket_cnt = 0 then starts to traverse the second
hlist_nulls_for_each_entry_safe() unlocked e.g. deleting entries?

Thanks for pointing this out. Yes, you are correct. If bucket_cnt is 0
and buck->lock is not held, we should skip the
hlist_nulls_for_each_entry_safe(l, n, head, hash_node) {
...
}
as another cpu may traverse the bucket in parallel by adding/deleting
the elements.

Makes sense. Let me fix it in the next version, thanks for reviewing it!
