Subject: [PATCH] test/hash: fix potential memory leak

[ upstream commit a4492ab49ec3b829745c9060a1719354e0a572b7 ]

In the multiwriter test, if "found" array allocation failed,
the memory of "keys" array, which was successfully allocated
could not be freed, since by this time, tbl_multiwriter_test_params.keys
was not set to this array, which is the pointer freed when finishing
the test or when a failure happens.

To solve this, tbl_multiwriter_test_params.keys is set to the "keys"
address, just after allocating and filling the array.

Fixes: be856325cba3 ("hash: add scalable multi-writer insertion with Intel TSX")
