Well, it clearly was used there. You even gave it a gfp_t argument in
rhashtable_walk_init(), so you can't really claim it wasn't designed for
this. I see now that it's ignored, but still?

I'm sure you'll say it's not legitimate, but it still exists ;-)

mesh_plink_broken() gets called from the TX status path, via
ieee80211s_update_metric().
