When an entry is deleted from an extensible rte_table_hash, the bucket that stored the entry can become empty. If this is the case, the bucket needs to be removed from the chain of buckets.
During removal of the bucket, the chain should be updated first. If the bucket that will be removed is cleared first, the chain is broken and the information to update the chain is lost.
