Hi Bruce,

In the test, the bucket size and number of buckets are used
to map to the underneath rte_hash structure. They are used
to test performance of two scenarios: keys in primary
buckets only and keys in both primary and secondary buckets.

Although there is no functional issue with bucket size set
to 4, it mismatches the underneath rte_hash structure (i.e. 8),
which may affect code readability and future extension.

I added this description into the commit message.

Thanks
Yipeng
