Hi,

I've done the change you asked, and the "suspicious value" warnings are all 
gone. Here is the diff:

Some questions regarding the change:

1. There is similar logic in clib_bihash_search_inline_with_hash. I suppose 
that this change needs to be applied there as well. Am I right?

2. This patch does eliminate the race condition, but appears to introduce a 
huge performance regression. The clocks in `show runtime` will double after the 
change (with the 100000-ops limit removed, so the test node runs indefinitely).

Regards,
Hao Tian
