commit 0e9796b4af9ef490e203158cb738a5a4986eb75c upstream

Reduce and clarify locking requirements for ovs_flow_cmd_alloc_info(),
ovs_flow_cmd_fill_info() and ovs_flow_cmd_build_info().

A datapath pointer is available only when holding a lock.  Change
ovs_flow_cmd_fill_info() and ovs_flow_cmd_build_info() to take a
dp_ifindex directly, rather than a datapath pointer that is then
(only) used to get the dp_ifindex.  This is useful, since the
dp_ifindex is available even when the datapath pointer is not, both
before and after taking a lock, which makes further critical section
reduction possible.

Make ovs_flow_cmd_alloc_info() take an 'acts' argument instead a
'flow' pointer.  This allows some future patches to do the allocation
before acquiring the flow pointer.

The locking requirements after this patch are:

ovs_flow_cmd_alloc_info(): May be called without locking, must not be
called while holding the RCU read lock (due to memory allocation).
If 'acts' belong to a flow in the flow table, however, then the
caller must hold ovs_mutex.

ovs_flow_cmd_fill_info(): Either ovs_mutex or RCU read lock must be held.

ovs_flow_cmd_build_info(): This calls both of the above, so the caller
must hold ovs_mutex.
