Before releasing the global mutex, we only unlink the hashtable
from the hash list, its proc file is still not unregistered at
this point. So syzbot could trigger a race condition where a
parallel htable_create() could register the same file immediately
after the mutex is released.

Move htable_remove_proc_entry() back to mutex protection to
fix this. And, fold htable_destroy() into htable_put() to make
the code slightly easier to understand.
