[ovs-dev] [PATCH 1/2] fail-open: Only fail open if we've been disconnected for at least 1 s.

The 'last_disconn_secs' member determines whether we're currently in
fail-open mode (see fail_open_is_active()), but before this
commit, fail_open_run() could decide to enter fail-open mode even if
that would set 'last_disconn_secs' to 0 (and thus not really enter it).
This could lead to an endless stream of log messages about entering
fail-open mode, none of which actually does anything.  This fixes the
problem.

(This patch worries me because this functionality has been stable
and unchanged for many years and I wonder how something so simple
is broken.)
