This patch turns "flow_table" from being embedded into "datapath" to
being an rcu protected pointer. No functional change intended.

A future patch will introduce a per-flow_table mutex that will protect
flow operations independently. In preparation for that, this patch
introduces a flow_table lockdep macro, and modifies some function
signatures to allow lockdep assertions to run.
For now, the actual lockdep check logic is a no-op, but adding the
infrastructure helps reduce the size of the upcoming patch.

In order to protect flow operations from RTNL contention, this patch
decouples flow_table modifications from ovs_mutex by means of the
following:
1 - Create a new mutex inside the flow_table that protects it from
concurrent modifications.
Putting the mutex inside flow_table makes it easier to consume for
functions inside flow_table.c that do not currently take pointers to the
datapath.
Some function signatures need to be changed to accept flow_table so that
lockdep checks can be performed.
2 - Create a reference count to temporarily extend rcu protection from
the datapath to the flow_table.
One reference is held by the datapath, the other is temporarily
increased during flow modifications.

+ *
+ * All writes to flow_table are protected by the embedded "lock".
+ * In order to ensure datapath destruction does not trigger the destruction
+ * of the flow_table, "refcnt" is used. Therefore, writers must:
+ * 1 - Enter rcu read-protected section
+ * 2 - Increase "table->refcnt"
+ * 3 - Leave rcu read-protected section (to avoid using mutexes inside rcu)
+ * 4 - Lock "table->lock"
+ * 5 - Perform modifications
+ * 6 - Release "table->lock"
+ * 7 - Decrease "table->refcnt"
+ *
+ * Reads are protected by RCU.
+ *
+ * Note with this schema, it's possible that a flow operation is performed on a
+ * flow_table that is about to be freed.
