The logic in ovs-xapi-sync didn't handle the case where ovsdb-server sends
a database update before it replies to a transaction that ovs-xapi-sync
sent, like this:

ovs-xapi-sync              ovsdb-server
-------------              ------------

                      .
                      .
                      .
transaction request  --->
                     <---  database contents update
                     <---  transaction reply
                      .
                      .
                      .

The update was not lost but ovs-xapi-sync would not process it until the
database changed again.

Bug #10082.

It's too easy to get this wrong, so I'm working on some patches
that make it harder.  In the meantime, I believe that this fixes
the observed problem.

Thanks,

Ben.
