API changes only for code readability. No functional chnages.
This patch removes the underscored version. Added a new API
ovs_flow_tbl_lookup_stats() that returns the n_mask_hits.

Currently OVS uses jhash2() for calculating flow hashes in its
internal flow_hash() function. The performance of the flow_hash()
function is critical, as the input data can be hundreds of bytes
long.
OVS is largely deployed in x86_64 based datacenters. Therefore,
we argue that the performance critical fast path of OVS should
exploit underlying CPU features in order to reduce the per packet
processing costs. We replace jhash2 with the hash implementation
provided by the kernel hash lib, which exploits the crc32l
instruction to achieve high performance
Our patch greatly reduces the hash footprint from ~200 cycles of
jhash2() to around ~90 cycles in case of ovs_flow_hash_crc()
(measured with rdtsc over maximum length flow keys on an i7 Intel
CPU).
Additionally, we wrote a microbenchmark to stress the flow table
performance. The benchmark inserts random flows into the flow
hash and then performs lookups. Our hash deployed on a CRC32
capable CPU reduces the lookup for 1000 flows, 100 masks from
~10,100us to ~6,700us, for example.
Thus, simply use the newly introduced arch_fast_hash2() as a
drop-in replacement.

Flow->hash can be used to detect hash collisions and avoid flow key
compare in flow lookup.

ovs-flow rehash does not touch mega flow list. Following patch
moves it dp struct datapath. Avoid one extra indirection for
accessing mega-flow list head on every packet receive.

Over the time datapath.c and flow.c has became pretty large files.
Following patch restructures functionality of component into three
different components:
flow.c: contains flow extract.
flow_netlink.c: netlink flow api.
flow_table.c: flow table api.
This patch restructures code without changing logic.
