net: openvswitch: add flow-mask cache for performance
The idea of this optimization comes from a patch which is committed in 2014, openvswitch community. The author is Pravin B Shelar. In order to get high performance, I implement it again. Later patches will use it. Pravin B Shelar, says: | On every packet OVS needs to lookup flow-table with every | mask until it finds a match. The packet flow-key is first | masked with mask in the list and then the masked key is | looked up in flow-table. Therefore number of masks can | affect packet processing performance.
