Good catch, Numan. As the comment says, this won't ever happen under
normal operation. But if someone mistakenly (or maliciously) removes
the Logical_DP_Group from the southbound database, then this could
result in a crash due to the assertion.

The flow being in an unexpected state is interesting here. I suppose
in this case we should mark the flow as LFLOW_STALE and continue. If
the flow ends up being relevant, we'll end up using it during the
recompute. If not, then it will be deleted when syncing.
