[ovs-dev] [PATCH] dpif-netlink: Fix dumping uninitialized netdev flow stats.

dpif logging functions expects to be called after the operation.
log_flow_del_message() dumps flow stats on success which are not
initialized before the actual call to netdev_flow_del():

 Conditional jump or move depends on uninitialised value(s)

  Uninitialised value was created by a stack allocation
    at 0xDEFC24: revalidator_sweep__ (ofproto-dpif-upcall.c:2733)

Also, by calling the log functions after the actual operation we could
pass the real error code instead of reporting success unconditionally.
