  ofproto-dpif-upcall: Only call ovsrcu_postpone() on active actions

Currently, ovsrcu_postpone() is called even with a NULL argument,
i.e. when there is no data to be freed. This is causing additional
overhead because work is scheduled for the urcu thread. This change
avoids adding the postpone callback if no work needs to be done.

This especially helps for the OVS-DPDK case where the PMD threads
might no longer have to do a write() due to the latch_set(), and thus
saving a syscall.
