Change the API of rte_hash*_create() functions to return NULL and set rte_errno to EEXIST when the object name already exists. These functions were returning a pointer to the existing object in that case, but it is a problem as the caller did not know if the object had to be freed or not. Doing this change also makes the hash API more consistent with the other APIs (mempool, rings, ...).
