Commit 9677cd33eea4c65d78ba463b46b8b45ed2da1709 made it possible to
remove current entry when iterating through all hash entries. However,
it didn't properly handle a special case of removing first entry
assigned to a given key which contains several entries in its collision
list.

This is an alternate less invasive fix to "util: Simplify hash
implementation".
I prefer the more invasive fix for upstream but I'm sending this alternative
here for completeness.
For backporting purposes, would it make sense to apply this patch first,
then apply the other one which undoes this patch as part of its
simplifications? Then, anyone trying to pick and choose patches to
backport can feel justified going with the smaller patch in isolation.
As for this patch itself, ACK, but whether to apply it depends on the
answer to the bigger question above.
