Bug description:
  We are using Openstack Neutron 13.0.6 and it is deployed using
  OpenStack-helm.

  I test ping servers in the same vlan while rebooting neutron-ovs-
  agent. The result shows

  root@mgt01:~# openstack server list

  $ ping 172.31.10.4

  64 bytes from 172.31.10.4: seq=67 ttl=64 time=0.481 ms

  As one can see, packet seq 62 is lost, I believe, during rebooting ovs
  agent.

  Right now, I am suspecting
  https://github.com/openstack/neutron/blob/6d619ea7c13e89ec575295f04c63ae316759c50a/neutron/plugins/ml2/drivers/openvswitch/agent/openflow/native/ofswitch.py#L229
  this code is refreshing flow table rules even though it is not
  necessary.

  Because when I dump flows on phys bridge, I can see duration is
  rewinding to 0 which suggests flow has been deleted and created again

  """       duration=secs
                The  time,  in  seconds,  that  the entry has been in the table.
                secs includes as much precision as the switch provides, possibly
                to nanosecond resolution.
  """

  root@compute01:~# ovs-ofctl dump-flows br-floating
  ...
   cookie=0x673522f560f5ca4f, duration=323.852s, table=2, n_packets=1100, n_bytes=103409, 
                              ^------ this value resets
  priority=4,in_port="phy-br-floating",dl_vlan=2 actions=mod_vlan_vid:105,NORMAL
  ...

  IMO, rebooting ovs-agent should not affecting data plane.
