[dpdk-stable] [PATCH 1/2] hash: fix unlimited cuckoo path

[Pablo de Lara]

When trying to insert a new entry, if its target bucket is full,
the alternative location (bucket) of one of the entries is checked,
to try to find an empty slot, with make_space_bucket.
This function is called every time a new bucket is checked, recursively.
To avoid having a very long insert operation (and to avoid filling up
the stack), a limit in the number of pushes is introduced.

Fixes: 48a399119619 ("hash: replace with cuckoo hash implementation")
