Subject: [PATCH] bpf: do not start from first bucket if elem is not found on a htab

When you want to traverse an entire map using BPF_MAP_GET_NEXT_KEY and
key provided is not present due to a deletion you will start iterating the
map from the beginning without noticing it. This patch changes the
starting bucket in those situations to the bucket where key was
suppossed to be.

Note that you can still get stuck in the same bucket but it is less
likely than getting stuck in a loop restarting from the beginning of
the entire map.
