vppinfra: fix corner-cases in bihash lookup
In a case where one pounds on a single kvp in a KVP_AT_BUCKET_LEVEL table, the code would sporadically return a transitional value (junk) from a half-deleted kvp. At most, 64-bits worth of the kvp will be written atomically, so using memset(...) to smear 0xFF's across a kvp to free it left a lot to be desired. Performance impact: very mild positive, thanks to FC for doing a multi-thread host stack perf/scale test. Added an ASSERT to catch attempts to add a (key,value) pair which contains the magic "free kvp" value. Type: fix Signed-off-by: Dave Barach <dave@barachs.net> Change-Id: I6a1aa8a2c30bc70bec4b696ce7b17c2839927065
