Coverity reported a possible null dereference of datum->values
when handling value-type weak references in find_and_add_weak_refs().
In practice, datum->values must be non-NULL for value-type weak references.
Adding ovs_assert(datum->values) documents this invariant and ensures that
we catch any unexpected misuse.
No change to runtime behavior in production builds; this only improves
safety and satisfies static analysis.
