This reverts commit 5351980b047f4dd40be7a59a1e4b910df21eca0a.

If the ovsdb-server reply to "monitor_cond_since" requests has
"found" == false then ovsdb_idl_db_parse_monitor_reply() calls
ovsdb_idl_db_clear() which iterates through all tables and
unconditionally sets table->cond_changed to false.

However, if the client had already set a new condition for some of the
tables, this new condition request will never be sent to ovsdb-server
until the condition is reset to a different value. This is due to the
check in ovsdb_idl_db_set_condition().

One way to replicate the issue is described in the bugzilla reporting
the bug, when ovn-controller is configured to use "ovn-monitor-all":
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1808125#c6

Commit 5351980b047f tried to optimize sending redundant conditional
monitoring updates but the chances that this scenario happens with the
latest code is quite low since commit 403a6a0cb003 ("ovsdb-idl: Fast
resync from server when connection reset.") changed the behavior of
ovsdb_idl_db_parse_monitor_reply() to avoid calling ovsdb_idl_db_clear()
in most cases.

  clearing IDL.". Also updated the commit description.
- Instead of clearing IDL conditions, revert 5351980b047f as suggested
  by Ilya when reviewing v2:
  https://mail.openvswitch.org/pipermail/ovs-dev/2020-March/369144.html
v2:
- Updated commit log so that the "Fixes:" tag reflects the correct
  commit that introduced the issue.

Thanks Dumitru, Han and Numan.
I went ahead and applied this patch to master.  Backported down to 2.7.

Best regards, Ilya Maximets.
