I'd like to submit a patch which changes the behavior of rte_hash_iterate
such that it will only check a small number of hash table positions (maybe
32), and if they're all empty, return -EAGAIN.

This will enable a user to call the function in a main packet processing
loop to do garbage collection on a hash table.

Would such a change be welcome?

Thanks in advance,
Reuben
