Avoid possibly-theoretical OOM crash hazard in hash_create().
One place in hash_create() used DynaHashAlloc() as a convenient
shorthand for MemoryContextAlloc(). That was fine when it was
written, but it stopped being fine when 9c911ec06 changed
DynaHashAlloc() to use MCXT_ALLOC_NO_OOM (mea culpa). Change
the code to call plain MemoryContextAlloc() as intended.
I think that this bug may be unreachable in practice, since we now
always create AllocSets with some space already allocated, so that
an OOM failure here for a non-shared hash table should be impossible
(with a hash table name of reasonable length anyway). And there
aren't enough shared hash tables to make a crash for one of those
probable. Nonetheless it's clearly not operating as designed, so
back-patch to v16 where 9c911ec06 came in.
