[ovs-dev] [PATCH v7 2/3] revalidator: Gather packets-per-second rate of flows

This is the second patch in the patch-set to support dynamic rebalancing
of offloaded flows.

The packets-per-second (pps) rate for each flow is computed in the context
of revalidator threads when the flow stats are retrieved. The pps-rate is
computed only after a flow is revalidated and is not scheduled for
deletion. The parameters used to compute pps and the pps itself are saved
in udpif_key since they need to be persisted across iterations of
rebalancing.
