rhashtable: Restore insecure_elasticity toggle
Some users of rhashtable cannot handle insertion failures, and are happy to accept the consequences of a hash table that having very long chains. Restore the insecure_elasticity toggle for these users. In addition to disabling the chain length checks, this also removes the emergency resize that would otherwise occur when the hash table occupancy hits 100% (an async resize is still scheduled at 75%).
