Thanks for the report. I think this is already fixed. Can you try with the
following commit:

commit 246b23a7695bd5a457aa51a36a948cce53d1d477

    rhashtable-test: Use walker to test bucket statistics

    As resizes may continue to run in the background, use walker to
    ensure we see all entries. Also print the encountered number
    of rehashes queued up while traversing.

    This may lead to warnings due to entries being seen multiple
    times. We consider them non-fatal.
