[ovs-dev] [PATCH 2/3] revalidator: Use xcache when revalidation is required.

One of the reasons that xlate_cache was introduced was to ensure that
statistics were attributed to the correct rules and interfaces according
to the flow that was installed into the datapath, rather than according
to the current state of the flow table.

This patch makes the revalidators use the xlate_cache to attribute stats
when full revalidation is required.
