rhltable_insert_key() inserts a node into list of element, if node's key is duplicated, so that it becomes the chain of element(as known as rhead). Also bucket table points that element directly. If a inserted node's element chain is located at third, rhltable misses first and second element chain. This issue is causion of to failture the rhltable_remove().
After this patch, rhltable_insert_key() inserts a node into second of element's list, so that rhlist do not misses elements.
