When remove an object from hash table, we currently only traverse old
bucket table to check whether the object exists. If the object is not
found in it, we will try again. But in the second search loop, we still
search the object from the old table instead of future table. As a
result, the object may be not removed from hash table especially when
resizing is currently in progress and the object is just saved in the
future table.
