Yes, when a match occurs, the chain walk stops.

nfsd_file_do_acquire() is the only place that calls the comparator
with NFSD_FILE_KEY_FULL.

 165                 if (test_bit(NFSD_FILE_HASHED, &nf->nf_flags) == 0)
 166                         return 1;
+                    nfsd_file_get(nf);
 167                 break;

Unfortunately, the comparator's second parameter is a const
void *, so we can't modify the matching nf. Ho-hum.

This probably should be changed to rhashtable_lookup() so that
we're not double-wrapping the call with rcu_read_lock/unlock.

What might be nicer is if this used rhashtable_lookup_insert_key()
instead, and if it returns EEXIST, it simply frees @new and retries
the first lookup.
