- duplicate the "getblk()" and "get_hash_table()" functions, calling the
second set "bread_getblk()" and "bread_get_hash_table()". Make the
second set "static", ie only visible inside buffer.c.
- make bread_getblk() call bread_get_hash_table() rather than the old
get_hash_table().
- make bread() call bread_getblk() rather than the old getblk()
- make the one-liner change only to the bread_get_hash_table() function.
That way the change won't have any effect outside of "bread()", which
is the only function I really wanted changed.
There's a lot of things calling "get_hash_table()", and that was why I was
nervous about the change - I didn't validate that they are all ok even if
get_hash_table() sometimes returns a locked buffer..
