Cloned from launchpad bug 1515075. Description: How to reproduce: 1. Stop the neutron server to simulate it's busy/down 2. Restart an ovs agent. After the first rpc times out(default to 60 seconds), the agent will delete some of the existing flows. Expected: Keep the existing flows to make sure the instances are happy.
