Subject: [PATCH v2] lib/test_rhashtable: Make test_insert_dup() allocate its hash table dynamically

The test_insert_dup() function from lib/test_rhashtable.c passes a
pointer to a stack object to rhltable_init(). Allocate the hash table
dynamically to avoid that the following is reported with object
debugging enabled:

ODEBUG: object (ptrval) is on stack (ptrval), but NOT annotated.

Changes compared to v1: instead of modifying rhashtable_init(), modify its
   caller.
