[PATCH v2 4/4] rhashtable-test: allow to retry even if -ENOMEM was returned

[Phil Sutter <phil@nwl.cc>]

This is rather a hack to expose the current issue with rhashtable to
under high pressure sometimes return -ENOMEM even though system memory
is not exhausted and a consecutive insert may succeed.
