Subject: [PATCH] hash: fix multiwriter lock memory allocation

[ upstream commit 27c813679ea961b94d3184c09e50a055ad726da3 ]

When malloc for multiwriter_lock, the align should be
RTE_CACHE_LINE_SIZE rather than LCORE_CACHE_SIZE.

Also there should be check to verify the success of
rte_malloc.

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