Some broken ISPs (e.g. Comcast) send DHCPv6 packets with hop limit=0.
This trips up the TTL=0 check in the PPE if enabled.

Current code directly writes the FOE entry to hash_val+1 position
when hash collision occurs. However, it is found that this behavior
will cause the cache and the hardware FOE table to be inconsistent.
For example, there are three flows, and their hashed values are all
equal to 100. The first flow is written to the position of 100. The
second flow is written to the position of 100+1. Then, the logic of
the current code will also write the third flow to 100+1.
At this time, the cache has flow 1 and 2; and the hardware FOE table
has flow 1 and 3, where these two parts store different contents.
So it is necessary to check whether the hash_val+1 is also occupied
before writing. If hash_val+1 is also occupied, we won’t bind th
third flow to the FOE table.
Addition to that, we also cancel the processing of foe_entry removal
because the hardware has auto age-out ability. The hardware will
periodically iterate through the FOE table to find out the time-out
entry and set it as INVALID.

Sometimes the tuples might be hashed to the same FOE entry.
When this hash collision problem occurs, some of the
connections will not be bound and consequently the CPU
idle rate cannot reach 100%. Therefore, two-way hashing
is adopted to alleviate this problem.
