e80857cce8 openvswitch: Fix kernel panic on ovs_flow_free
Both mega flow mask's reference counter and per flow table mask list
should only be accessed when holding ovs_mutex() lock. However
this is not true with ovs_flow_table_flush(). The patch fixes this bug.

e298e50570 openvswitch: Per cpu flow stats.
With mega flow implementation ovs flow can be shared between
multiple CPUs which makes stats updates highly contended
operation. This patch uses per-CPU stats in cases where a flow
is likely to be shared (if there is a wildcard in the 5-tuple
and therefore likely to be spread by RSS). In other situations,
it uses the current strategy, saving memory and allocation time.

5bb506324d openvswitch: Change ovs_flow_tbl_lookup_xx() APIs
API changes only for code readability. No functional chnages.

This patch removes the underscored version. Added a new API
ovs_flow_tbl_lookup_stats() that returns the n_mask_hits.

b637e4988c openvswitch: Move mega-flow list out of rehashing struct.
ovs-flow rehash does not touch mega flow list. Following patch
moves it dp struct datapath.  Avoid one extra indirection for
accessing mega-flow list head on every packet receive.

e64457191a openvswitch: Restructure datapath.c and flow.c
Over the time datapath.c and flow.c has became pretty large files.
Following patch restructures functionality of component into three
different components:

flow.c: contains flow extract.
flow_netlink.c: netlink flow api.
flow_table.c: flow table api.

This patch restructures code without changing logic.
