I don't see how your patch address the double-free, as we still
free mask array twice after your patch: once in tbl_mask_array_realloc()
and once in ovs_flow_tbl_destroy().

Have you tried my patch which is supposed to address this double-free?
It simply skips the reallocation as it makes no sense to trigger reallocation
when destroying it.

Thanks.
