[PATCH net-next 5/7] net: openvswitch: optimize flow-mask looking up

[xiangxia.m.yue@gmail.com]

From: Tonghao Zhang <xiangxia.m.yue@gmail.com>

The full looking up on flow table traverses all mask array.
If mask-array is too large, the number of invalid flow-mask
increase, performance will be drop.

This patch optimizes mask-array operation:

* Inserting, insert it [ma->count- 1] directly.
* Removing, only change last and current mask point, and free current mask.
* Looking up, full looking up will break if mask is NULL.
