As stated, should be fixed by:

Subject: [PATCH] rhashtable: Do not lower max_elems when max_size is zero

The commit 6d684e54690c ("rhashtable: Cap total number of entries
to 2^31") breaks rhashtable users that do not set max_size.  This
is because when max_size is zero max_elems is also incorrectly set
to zero instead of 2^31.

This patch fixes it by only lowering max_elems when max_size is not
zero.
