[PATCH 1/2] test/hash: check memory allocation

Thomas Monjalon thomas at monjalon.net

When reserving a specific memory amount, it was possible to pass
the first allocations and fail on a later allocation
where there was no check, resulting in a crash.
It is fixed by stopping the test if allocation failed.
