dshash: revise sequential scan support.

The previous coding of dshash_seq_next(), on the first call, accessed
status->hash_table->size_log2 without holding a partition lock and without
guaranteeing that ensure_valid_bucket_pointers() had ever been called.

That oversight turns out to not have immediately visible effects, because
bucket 0 is always in partition 0, and ensure_valid_bucket_pointers() was
called after acquiring the partition lock.  However,
PARTITION_FOR_BUCKET_INDEX() with a size_log2 of 0 ends up triggering formally
undefined behaviour.

Simplify by accessing partition 0, without using PARTITION_FOR_BUCKET_INDEX().

While at it, remove dshash_get_current(), there is no convincing use
case. Also polish a few comments.
