I have not seen any other consequence of this change other than that new 
datapath flow entries are immediately included in the first stats poll, which 
means the very first reading of flow stats after flow creation is more accurate 
than before. I cannot see any problem with that. All unit tests run fine. There 
should be no load increase.

Without this change it was difficult to get deterministically correct flow 
stats in unit tests.
