openvswitch: Fix ovs_flow_free() ovs-lock assert.
ovs_flow_free() is not called under ovs-lock during packet execute path (ovs_packet_cmd_execute()). Since packet execute does not touch flow->mask, there is no need to take that lock either. So move assert in case where flow->mask is checked. Found by code inspection. Signed-off-by: Pravin B Shelar <pshelar@nicira.com> Signed-off-by: Jesse Gross <jesse@nicira.com>
