Subject: [PATCH 3.16 131/148] openvswitch: remove another BUG_ON()

3.16.82-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Paolo Abeni <pabeni@...hat.com>

commit 8a574f86652a4540a2433946ba826ccb87f398cc upstream.

If we can't build the flow del notification, we can simply delete
the flow, no need to crash the kernel. Still keep a WARN_ON to
preserve debuggability.

Note: the BUG_ON() predates the Fixes tag, but this change
can be applied only after the mentioned commit.

v1 -> v2:
 - do not leak an skb on error

Fixes: aed067783e50 ("openvswitch: Minimize ovs_flow_cmd_del critical section.")
