Er, it is suspicious that the allocation of htab_elem failed, because
the size of key and value is small in these cases. It usually means that
there is something wrong with bpf mem allocator or the slub, therefore,
I think it is a bad idea to retry for ENOMEM in this case. Will try to
reproduce the problem first when get some time.
