In rte_hash_iterate, the reader lock did not protect the while loop which checks empty entry. This created a race condition that the entry may become empty when enters the lock, then a wrong key data value would be read out.
This commit reads out the position in the while condition, which makes sure that the position will not be changed to empty before entering the lock.
