[ovs-dev] [PATCH] connmgr: Fix violation of flow monitoring protocol description.

[Ben Pfaff]

nicira-ext.h says:

 * 1. OVS sends an NXT_FLOW_MONITOR_PAUSED message to the controller, following
 *    all the already queued notifications.  After it receives this message,
 *    the controller knows that its view of the flow table, as represented by
 *    flow monitor notifications, is incomplete.

The actual implementation could send NXT_FLOW_MONITOR_PAUSED in the middle
of a series of queued notifications.  This fixes it to always send it after
those notifications.  Possibly this confused some controllers, since the
documentation said that NXFME_ADD and NXFME_MODIFIED notifications wouldn't
be sent between "pause" and "resume" messages, but this bug could cause
them to be sent just after "pause".
