The hash table backend memory and the state structs are free'd via
kfree/vfree.

Once we only rely on rcu during lookups we have to make sure no other cpu
is currently accessing this before doing the free.

Free operations already happen from worker so we can use synchronize_rcu
to wait until concurrent readers are done.
