openvswitch: meter: fix race when getting now_ms.
We have observed meters working unexpected if traffic is 3+Gbit/s with multiple connections. now_ms is not pretected by meter->lock, we may get a negative long_delta_ms when another cpu updated meter->used, then: delta_ms = (u32)long_delta_ms; which will be a large value. band->bucket += delta_ms * band->rate; then we get a wrong band->bucket. OpenVswitch userspace datapath has fixed the same issue[1] some time ago, and we port the implementation to kernel datapath.
