ovs-vswitchd: Call mlockall() from the daemon, not the parent or monitor.
mlockall(2) says:
Memory locks are not inherited by a child created via fork(2) and are automatically removed (unlocked) during an execve(2) or when the
process terminates.
which means that --mlockall was ineffective in combination with --detach
or --monitor or both. Both are used in the most common production
configuration of Open vSwitch, so this means that --mlockall has never been
effective in production.
ofproto: Fix use-after-free error when ports disappear.
update_port() can delete the port for which it is called, if the underlying
network device has been destroyed, so HMAP_FOR_EACH is unsafe in
ofproto_run().
Less obviously, update_port() can delete unrelated ports. For example,
suppose that initially device A is port 1 and device B is port 2. If
update_port("A") runs just after this, then it will ofport_remove() both
ports, then ofport_install() A as the new port 2.
So this commit first assembles a list of ports to update, then updates them
in a separate loop.
Without this commit, running "ovs-dpctl del-dp" while ovs-vswitchd is
running consistently causes a crash for me within a few seconds.
Commit 24e81092a1 (debian: Bring Debian packaging in-line with new file
locations) introduced an ambiguous "--t" option invoking ovs-appctl, so
ovs-vswitchd and ovsdb-server were not reopening their log files following
log rotation. This fixes the problem by correct the option name.

netdev-linux: Fix use-after-free when netdev_dump_queues() deletes queues.
iface_configure_qos() passes a callback to netdev_dump_queues() that can
delete queues. The netdev-linux implementation of this function was
unprepared for the callback to delete queues, so this could cause a
use-after-free. This fixes the problem in netdev_linux_dump_queues() and
documents that netdev_dump_queues() implementations must support deletions
in the callback.

tests: Prefer development Python files over installed ones.
A developer may have Open vSwitch installed, in which case many of
the Python files which are tested will be in both the development
tree and the system Python library. When running unit tests, we
want to test the development tree, so it's better to prefer
importing those files.

bridge: Remove unwanted ports at time of ofproto creation.
The reconfiguration code only deleted unwanted ports for bridges that had
been created in previous (re)configurations. In fact, we should run this
step even for bridges that are newly added, e.g. to delete ports that
were added by a previous run of ovs-vswitchd and deleted from the database
between runs.
Before this commit, the following left "int" in datapath br0. After this
commit, "int" is properly deleted:
1. With ovs-vswitchd running:
# ovs-vsctl add-br br0
# ovs-vsctl add-port br0 int -- set interface int type=internal
2. Kill ovs-vswitchd, then:
# ovs-vsctl --no-wait -- del-port br0 int
3. Restart ovs-vswitchd.
