We encountered bad case on big system with 96 CPUs that
alloc_htab_elem() would last for 1ms. The reason is that after the
prealloc hashtab has no free elems, when trying to update, it will still
grab spin_locks of all cpus. If there are multiple update users, the
competition is very serious.

0001: Add is_empty to check whether the free list is empty or not before taking
the lock.
0002: Add benchmark to reproduce this worst case.

Changelog:
v3->v4: Addressed comments from Daniel Borkmann.
- Use READ_ONCE/WRITE_ONCE.

v2->v3: Addressed comments from Alexei Starovoitov, Andrii Nakryiko.
- Adjust the way the benchmark is tested.
- Adjust the code format.

v1->v2: Addressed comments from Alexei Starovoitov.
- add a benchmark to reproduce the issue.
- Adjust the code format that avoid adding indent.
