Commit 263064aeaa31e7 (Convert binding_run to incremental processing.)
changed the way patched_datapaths were handled. Previously we would
destroy the datastructure in every run and re-create it fresh. The new
way causes problems with the way conntrack zones are allocated as now
we can have stale port_binding entries causing segmentation faults.

With this commit, we simply don't depend on port_binding records in
conntrack zone allocation and instead store the UUID as a string in
the patch_datapath datastructure.

Fixes: 263064aeaa31e7 ("Convert binding_run to incremental processing.")

This applies on top of https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/646268/.
I will rebase this if the dependent patch changes.

I like what this is doing, but I'd like it more if it had a test case
that would fail without this patch, but pass with it, so that we don't
regress...

Ryan,
 With the above referenced patch that this issue fixes, stale patched
datapaths were simply not removed. And none of the OVN tests caught it. We
can't catch this unless we start adding negative tests (for e.g: delete
records and look to see if ovn-controller deleted patch ports in br-int).
Or do you have something else in mind?

If this is going to cause a core dump, how about a test that runs
through the steps that cause a core dump and then check to see if
ovn-controller is still running?  That's what was done for the patch
that fixed the double destroy bug from the original address set patch
series.
