  Current multi-writer implementation uses Intel TSX to
protect the cuckoo path moving but not the cuckoo
path searching. After searching, we need to verify again if
the same empty slot still exists at the begining of the TSX
region. Otherwise another writer could occupy the empty slot
before the TSX region. Current code does not verify.

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