In a scenario in I-P when a desired flow is removed and an exactly same flow is
added back in the same iteration, the merge_tracked_flows() function will merge
the operation without firing any OpenFlow action. However, if there are
multiple desired flows (e.g. F1 and F2) matching the same installed flow, and
if the one being re-added (say, F1) is the one currently installed in OVS, the
current implementation will update the currently installed flow to F2 in the
data structure while the actual OVS flow is not updated (still F1). So far
there is still no problem, but the member desired_flow of the installed flow
is pointing to the wrong desired flow.

Now there is only one place where the desired_flow member is consulted, in
update_installed_flows_by_track() for handling a tracked *modified* flow. In
reality flow modification happens only when conjunction flows need to be
combined, which would never happen together with the above scenario of
merge_tracked_flows(). So this wrong desired_flow pointer doesn't cause any
real problem yet.

However, there is a place that can already utilize this active desired_flow
information, which is when handling a tracked flow deletion in
update_installed_flows_by_track(): we can check if the flow being deleted is
the currently active one installed in OVS. If not, we don't need to send and
OpenFlow modify to OVS. This optimization is added in this patch, apart from
fixing the problem of merge_tracked_flows(). Without the fix, this optimization
would cause the test case added in this patch fail.

Fixes: f4e508dd7 ("ofctrl.c: Merge opposite changes of tracked flows before installing.")

Nit: I think in this case the separate API makes it a bit more
complicated to read the code.  We already set
"installed_flow->desired_flow" directly in 3 other places.  I think it's
fine to just:

f->installed_flow->desired_flow = f;

Except for this the rest looks good to me:

Thanks Dumitru for the ack! I applied this to master.
As agreed with Dumitru in a quick chat on IRC, I kept the patch as is,
because "is_active()" made code more readable and a corresponding
"set_active()" was necessary to make the interface consistent.

Thanks,
Han
