Don't make any changes to the lhash structure if we are going to fail
The lhash expand() function can fail if realloc fails. The previous implementation made changes to the structure and then attempted to do a realloc. If the realloc failed then it attempted to undo the changes it had just made. Unfortunately changes to lh->p were not undone correctly, ultimately causing subsequent expand() calls to increment num_nodes to a value higher than num_alloc_nodes, which can cause out-of-bounds reads/ writes. This is not considered a security issue because an attacker cannot cause realloc to fail. This commit moves the realloc call to near the beginning of the function before any other changes are made to the lhash structure. That way if a failure occurs we can immediately fail without having to undo anything. Thanks to Pavel Kopyl (Samsung) for reporting this issue.
