Thinking more, there is no point in counting netdevs, since they
can be added after meters already created. So, I guess, we just
have to always add meters to all registered flow API providers,
i.e. just:
void
netdev_offload_meter_set(...)
{
struct netdev_registered_flow_api *rfa;
CMAP_FOR_EACH (rfa, cmap_node, &netdev_flow_apis) {
rfa->flow_api->meter_set(...);
}
}
