[ovs-dev] [PATCH] Always use valid ids pointer in dec_ttl_cnt_ids_from_openflow()

[Simon Horman]

Always update the ids pointer after calling ofpbuf_put()
to ensure that it is valid when accessed.

During testing a case came up where the call to ofpbuf_put() in the
for (i = 0; i < ids->n_controllers; i++) loop would cause the underlying
buffer to be reallocated. This resulted in ids->n_controllers being an
incorrect value, the loop continuing on longer than desired and finally a
segmentation fault.
