fib_trie: Fix RCU bug and merge similar bits of inflate/halve
This patch addresses two issues.
The first issue is the fact that I believe I had the RCU freeing sequence
slightly out of order. As a result we could get into an issue if a caller
went into a child of a child of the new node, then backtraced into the to be
freed parent, and then attempted to access a child of a child that may have
been consumed in a resize of one of the new nodes children. To resolve this I
have moved the resize after we have freed the oldtnode. The only side effect
of this is that we will now be calling resize on more nodes in the case of
inflate due to the fact that we don't have a good way to test to see if a
full_tnode on the new node was there before or after the allocation. This
should have minimal impact however since the node should already be
correctly size so it is just the cost of calling should_inflate that we
will be taking on the node which is only a couple of cycles.
The second issue is the fact that inflate and halve were essentially doing
the same thing after the new node was added to the trie replacing the old
one. As such it wasn't really necessary to keep the code in both functions
so I have split it out into two other functions, called replace and
update_children.
