[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2] hash: fix lock release on add

[Pablo de Lara]

From: mstolarchuk <mike.stolarchuk at bigswitch.com>

When adding items to a hash table with multiple threads,
there is an spinlock used to prevent data corruption
(unless Transactional Memory is supported).

If there is a failure, the spinlock should be released,
but there were cases where that was not happening.

Fixes: be856325cba3 ("hash: add scalable multi-writer insertion with Intel TSX")
CC: stable at dpdk.org
